Answer:

e. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Annual demand, D = 600 units

Ordering cost, S = $400

Holding cost, H = $50

Economic order quantity without stock-out = SQRT(2*D*S/H)

Economic order quantity without stock-out = SQRT(2*600*400/50)

Economic order quantity without stock-out = 98

Total annual ordering cost = (D/Q)*S + (Q/2)*H

Total annual ordering cost = (600/98)*$400 + (98/2)*$50

Total annual ordering cost = $2,448.97 + $2,450

Total annual ordering cost = $4,898.97
