how to find EOQ if there is lead time. There was question on mock exam.

demand: 7500 units per month
unit cost $5
ordering cost $100 per order
holding cost is 10% of purchase price per year
Lead time 30 days between placing and receiving order.

The lead time is not relevant for calculating the EOQ. (It is the time between placing the order and receiving the delivery – it does not affect the quantity ordered, but simply means placing the order before running out of inventory.)

sorry to hi-jack this post, but I’m struggling to work out the EOQ on this question, the answer is 6,000 but for some reason I cannot get there!

Can you help at all?

The demand: D = 7,500 x 12 = 90,000
The ordering cost = Co = 100
The holding cost = Ch = 10% x 5 = 0.50

If you put those figures in the formula, then you will get 6,000 🙂
