Question 15 WAEC_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2020 • COMMERCE • objective

A company stores a product in a warehouse. Annual demand for the product is 12,000 units. The ordering cost per order is ₦5,000. Holding cost is 25% of the unit cost per year, and the unit cost is ₦800. The warehouse can hold at most 2,500 units at any time. Because demand varies, the company wants to keep a safety stock equal to 10% of the order quantity. Determine the optimal order quantity that minimises the total annual cost (ordering + holding + purchase) while respecting the warehouse capacity, and state the resulting total annual cost (rounded to the nearest naira).
