    Minimum total annual cost = $3,321.26

    Explanation:

    The computation of the minimum total annual cost is shown below:

    As per the data given in the question,

    Annual demand (D) = 67 * 358 days = 23,986

    Setup cost (C) = $290

    Production rate (R) = 358 days * 485 = 173,630

    Holding cost (H) = $0.92

    Economic production quantity (Q) = sqrt ((2 * D * C) : H * (1 - (D : R)))

    = sqrt (((2 * 23,986 * $290) : $0.92 * (1 - (23,986 : 173,630)))

    = 4,188.7

    = 4,189

    Minimum total annual cost is

    = (Q : 2) * (1 - D : R) * H + (D : Q) * C

    =4,189 : 2 * (1 - (23,986 : 173,630) * $0.92 + (23,986 : 4,189) * 290

    = $3,321.26
