    Using the lowest price of $210 offered by the supplier

    Annual demand (D) = 90,000 units

    Set-up cost per order (S) = $1,000

    Holding cost per item per annum = 30% x $210 = $63

    EOQ = √2DS

    H

    EOQ = √2 x 90,000 x $1,000

    63

    EOQ = 1,690 units

    The correct answer is C

    Explanation:

    In this case, there is need to calculate the EOQ using the least price offered by the supplier. The least price gives the minimum total cost. EOQ is calculated as: 2 multiplied by annual demand and set-up cost divided by holding cost. The EOQ of 1,690 units gives the least total cost and thus recommended.
