Answer:

7,071 gears

Explanation:

As the cost of inventory has not been provided, hence I assumed the cost of one unit of Inventory is $20

The Economic order quantity will minimize the total costs

Use the following formula to calculate the Economic Order Quantity

Economic Order Quantity = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} }[/tex]

Where

D = Demand = 100,000 gears

S = Cost per order  = $1,000

H = Carrying cost per gear = $20 x 20% = $4

Placing values in the formula

Economic Order Quantity = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 X 100,000 X 1,000}{4} }[/tex]

Economic Order Quantity = 7,071 gears
