Question

5. A neighborhood sportswear store sells a pair of Nike sneakers for $40. Due to the recent fitness craze, these shoes are in high demand: 50 pairs of shoes are sold per week. The ordering cost is $20/order, and the annual holding cost is 20 percent of selling price. If the store operates 52 weeks a year, what can you say about the current lot size of 235

Answer 1

Answer: Too large

Step-by-step explanation:

Thw following information can be gotten from the question:

d = 50 pairs per week

S = ordering cost = $20 per order

H = holding cost = 20% × $40 = $8

n = 52 weeks

D = Annual demand = 50 × 52 = 2600

We'll then calculate the economic order quantity which will be:

= ✓2DS/H

= ✓2×2600×20/8

= ✓13000

= 114 units

Therefore, the current lot size of 235 is too large
