MAmock exam ,EOQ
11y ago#1You need to calculate the EOQ using the formula (D is the demand per year, so is 20,000 units).
The average inventory is the EOQ/2 and the number of orders per year is D/EOQ.
You should watch the free lectures on Inventory Control.
(In future if you want me to help then you should ask in the Ask the Tutor Forum - this forum is for students to help each other)
