20. Average inventory = EOQ ÷ 2 + Safety inventory
= 8 000 units ÷ 2 + 0
= 4,000 units
Number of orders per year = Annual usage ÷ EOQ
= 10 times
Ordering cost per year = No. of orders x Cost of placing an order
= R1,000
Q3.6 Page 20 of 34
21. a. Reorder level = Max. usage x max. lead time
= 1 300 x 10
= 13,000 units
D
b. Max. inventory = Reorder level - (min. usage x min. lead time) + EOQ
= 13 000 - (600 x 5) + 40 000
= 50,000 units
D
c. Min. inventory = Reorder level - (ave. usage x ave. lead time)
= 13 000 - (1 000 x 7.5)

Question 3.7
Q3.7 Page 21 of 34
23. (i) The order size for materials that will result in a minimisation of the costs of ordering inventory and carrying
inventory.
(ii) Those costs that result from having inventory on hand, such as rental of storage space, handling costs,
property taxes, insurance, and cost of funds invested in inventory.
(iii) Those costs associated with the acquisition of inventory, such as clerical costs and transportation costs.
(iv) The interval between the time that an order is placed and the time that the order is finally received from
the supplier.
(v) The point in time when an order must be placed to replenish depleted inventory; it is determined by
multiplying the lead time by the average daily weekly usage.
(vi) The difference between average usage of materials and minimum usage of materials that can reasonably
be expected during the lead time.
Question 3.8
