    The best batch size for this item is 400 units.

    Explanation:

    As given Annual demand (D) = 1000 units, Carrying cost (H) = $10 per unit, set up cost (S) = $400.

    As per the production order model formula will be:

    /sqrt{2}D*S/H[1-d/p]}.

    d for week=1000/50

    =20. p per day

    =40 units/7 days.

    =5.71

    d per day = 20/7

    =2.85

    Therefore on applying all these:/sqrt{}2*1000*400/10[1-2.85/5.7.

    on solving this we will get 400 Units

    Therefore, The best batch size for this item is 400 units.
