Answer:

281.9 rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

Demand = D = 1450 rolls

Ordering cost = S = $15 per order

Holding cost = H = $3.42 x 16% = 0.5472 per unit per year

Economic order Quantity =
\sqrt{(2DS)/(H)

Economic order Quantity =
\sqrt{(2 (1450) (15) )/(0.5472)

Economic order Quantity =
\sqrt{( 43500 )/(0.5472)

Economic order Quantity =
\sqrt{{ 79495.61}

Economic order Quantity = 281.9 units

The Economic order quantity of the company is 281.9 units
