Answer:

305 units

Explanation:

The calculation of the economic order quantity is given below:

[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]

where,

Annual demand is 14,700 units

Ordering cost is $76 per order

And, the holding cost or carrying cost is $24 per unit

So the economic order quantity is

[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{14,700}\times \text{\$76}}{\text{\$24}}}[/tex]

= 305 units

We simply applied the above formula to determine the economic order quantity
