Answer:

B) 100

Step-by-step explanation:

EOQ = √[(2 x S x D) / H]

  • D = annual demand = 6,000 units
  • S = order cost = $150 per order
  • D = holding cost per year = $15 x 12 = $180

EOQ = √[(2 x $150 x 6,000) / $180] = √($1,800,000 / $180) = √10,000 = 100

When you calculate economic order quantity, you must always use annual data, i.e. annual demand and annual holding cost.
