    EOQ = 1015 units

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Given that:

    EOQ = √2 AO/C. I

    Where,

    A = the annual demand = 25,000 + 10% = 27, 500 units

    O = the ordering cost = $ 3000/year

    C = the carrying cost = $115/order

    I = the inventory cost, ($1500 * 3.1%) = $45

    Now,

    EOQ = √ 2 * 27, 500 * 3000/115 + 45

    =√165,000,000/160

    Thus,

    EOQ = 1015 units reorder frequency
