    False

    Explanation:

    If the demand is uncertain, if you use average demand to calculate the economic order quantity (EOQ), you will have a high probability of a stock-out occurring.

    EOQ = √ (2DS / H)

    where:

    D = annual demand in units

    S = order cost per purchase order

    H = holding cost per unit, per year

    If D is uncertain, then the whole calculus will either be understated or overstated.
