EOQ Model
Annual Cost

Optimal
Order Quantity (Q*)
Inventory Management
Under Certainty
Delivery is immediate
There is no time lag between production and
availability - lead time is zero
EOQ Assumptions (continued)
Production is instantaneous
No capacity constraint
all items are produced simultaneously or;
the entire order is received at the same time
EOQ = [(2*F*U)/C]1/2
= {[2*($45)*(10,000)] /4}1/2
= 475 units
EOQ Model
Annual ordering cost
= F(U/Q)= $45(10,000/475)
= $947 per year
Annual holding cost
= C(Q/2) = $4(475/2)
= $950 per year
Total annual cost
= $947 + $950
= $1,897 per year
Limitation of EOQ
Assumption of constant consumption/ usage of
inventories is of doubtful validity.
Price per unit may vary with the size of the order.
The EOQ Model with
Quantity Discounts
Discounts for quantity purchases reduce the
price of inventory and spread acquisition
costs over a larger base.
To Incorporate Discounts
1 Determine optimal quantity in the absence of quantity
discounts.
2 Calculate price paid for that quantity with the discount.
3 For each of the quantity discounts, calculate the price
payable for the quantity closest to the optimal quantity
determined in 1.
4 Calculate the total cost for each combination of price and
quantity.
5 Select the combination that achieves the lowest total cost.
Example
Economic Enterprises require 90,000 units of
items annually. Cost per unit is Rs. 3. The cost
per purchase order is Rs. 300. And the inventory
carrying cost is Rs. 6 per unit per year. What
should the firm do if the suppliers offer discounts
