Answer:

C. Greater than $6 but not greater than $9

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the unit holding cost per year is shown below:

As we know that


Economic\ order\ quantity = \sqrt{\frac{2* \text{Annual demand}* \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

where,

Annual demand is 450 × 52 weeks = 23,400 units

Ordering cost is $35 per order

Economic order quantity is 468 units

Now placing these values to the above formula


468\ units = \sqrt{\frac{2* \text{23,400}* \text{\$35}}{\text{Carrying\ cost}}}

Now to find out the carrying cost, the calculation is given below:

= (2 × 450 units × $35) ÷ 468^2

= $7.48 per unit

The carrying cost is also known as holding cost
