SIR,
I AM INTERESTED TO KNOW THE DERRIVATION OF FORMULA OF EOQ WITH EXAMPLE. PLEASE GUIDE ME
Ask the Tutor ACCA MA
PLEASE TELL ME THE DERRIVATION OF FORMULA OF EOQ
Please do not type in capital letters.
The derivation is not in the syllabus - it involves differentiating which cannot be asked in ACCA exams. I assume that you know how to differentiate (if not then I am certainly not going to teach you on here :-) )
If the order quantity is Q, then (using the same symbols as the formula does):
the order cost per year is D/Q x Co
The holding cost per year is Q/2 x Ch
So the total cost is (D/Q x Co) + (Q/2 x Ch)
For minimum total cost, you differentiate with respect to Q, and make equal to zero.
Then you will have the formula.
Thank you very much, sir.
You are welcome :-)
