Answer 1

59 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

For computing the how many rolls should order at a time, first we have to determine the economic order quantity which is shown below:

The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

=
`\sqrt{\frac{2* \text{Annual demand}* \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}`

where,

Carrying cost = $875 × 20% = $175

And, other items values would remain the same

ow put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

=
`\sqrt{\frac{2* \text{3,000}* \text{\$75}}{\text{\$175}}}`

= 50.71 units

Now The number of orders would be equal to

= Annual demand ÷ economic order quantity

= $3,000 ÷ 50.71 units

= 59 orders
