TOM 301 homework help

shibby · 02-20-05, 11:34 AM

Ok so i'm doing a problem for my TOM 301 class. it looks pretty easy and seems basic. the answer is in the back of the book but i don't get that answer and it's making me mad

the problem is:

A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year. Carrying costs are .60 cents per box a year, and ordering costs are $96. the following price schedule applies. Determine:
A) the optimal order quantity (EOQ)

Number of boxes/price per box
1000-1999.......$1.25
2000-4999.........1.20
5000-9999.........1.15
10000 or more....1.10

I was using the square root of 2DS over H equation but i get the answer as 2400, but in the back of the book it says 5000 boxes. is there something im missing or not seeing? any help would be great

Looks like someone has same class as I do haha.

After you get the EOQ for it, you need check other price bracket to see if you can get better price. Also you need do EOQ for each of the price structure to make sure ( he wants you to show that).
