    Optimal production run = 816 units per run

    Explanation:

    The optimal production run is the economic batch units that minimizes the balance of set-up cost and holding cost. It can be determined by adjusting the economic order quantity (EOQ) model for gradual replenishment,

    EBQ = √ (2 * Co * D) / Ch (1-D/R)

    EBQ - Economic / optimal production run

    Co - set-up cost per run

    Ch - holding cost per unit per annum

    D - Annual Supply - 9800 * 280

    Production rate per day-5000

    Optimal production run =

    √ (2*50 * 800*280) / (40 * (1-800/5000))

    =816.4965809

    Optimal production run = 816 units per run
