    224,000

    Explanation:

    Number of units sold per month = 30,000

    Annual demand (A) = 30000 * 12 = 360000

    Cost Price per unit TV (U) = $350

    Holding cost % (P) = 20%

    Holding cost $ (H) = ?

    Fixed cost per order placed (C) = $4,000

    H = U * P = $350 * 0.2 = $70

    A.) Optimal order size:

    √ (2 * A * C) / H

    √ (2 * 360000 * 4000) / 70

    √ 2880000000/70

    √ 41142857.1428

    = 6414

    Number of orders placed per year:

    (Annual quantity demanded / optimal order size) = 360,000 / 6414 = 56

    Annual ordering cost = number of orders placed per year * cost per order

    56 * $4000 = $224,000
