    Hi Sir,

    In the following question about EOQ the idea of the cost of capital was introduced so how can we incorporate the the cost of capital in the EOQ calculation?
    or could be other items like Chief buyer’s salary .

    Thanks,

    (b)
    The production manager has established the following information about a major
    inventory item.
    Purchase price per unit
    $480
    Annual demand
    4,000
    Supplier’s delivery costs per order
    $10
    Chief buyer’s salary per annum
    $30,000
    Total number of orders placed per annum*
    1,000
    Annual storage costs per unit
    $2
    Cost of capital 10% per annum
    *Relates to all product lines, not just this one.

    What is the economic order quantity for this inventory item?
    A 40
    B 80
    C 200
    D 400

    I explain this in my free lectures on inventory control.

    The interest cost is an additional holding cost (of in this case 10% x 480).
