Q: A manufacturing organisation uses 5,000kg of a raw material evenly over a period.The purchase price is $6.50 per kg and the holding cost per period is 10% of purchase price.If the order quantity is 500 kg and a buffer inventory of 100 kg is held,the total holding cost of the raw material in the period is:
A)$195
B)$227.50
C)$325
D)$3,250
According to kaplan the right answer is B but how and why ?If reorder quantity is 500, the average inventory will be:
500/2 + 100 (buffer stock) = 350
It is assumed that the 500 is used up evenly and that the 100 is always there. (Stock usage is irrelevant to holding costs).
350 x 6.50 x 10% = 227.5
