Economic order quantity it is a function of only K, D, h. The optimal value Q* may also be found by recognising that formula_10 where the non-negative quadratic term disappears for formula_11 which provides the cost minimum formula_12 Economic order quantity = formula_13 formula_14 = 400 units Number of orders per year (based on EOQ) formula_15 Total cost formula_16 Total cost formula_17 If we check the total cost for any order quantity other than 400(=EOQ), we will see that the cost is higher. For instance, supposing 500 units per order, then Total cost formula_18 Similarly, if we choose 300 for the order quantity
