    Correct answer is c. $211,555.

    Explanation:

    Here inventory cost means total ordering cost plus total carrying cost for they year. This can be determine by using simple EOQ (economic order quantity) formula given below.

    EOQ = ((2 * Annaul Requirement * cost per order) / carrying cost per unit) ^ (1/2)

    EOQ = ((2*800,000*540) / (370*14%)) ^ (1/2)

    EOQ = 4,084 units

    so

    Total order cost = 800.000/4,084 * 540 = 196 (aprox) * 540 = 105,840 - A

    Total Carrying cost = 4,084/2 * (370*14%) = 105,776-B

    Total Cost = A+B = $ 211,555 (aprox)
