    Given weekly demand = 1200 units

    Number of weeks per year = 45

    Annual demand (D) = weekly demand * number of weeks per year = 1200 * 45 = 54,000 units

    Ordering cost (C) = $55

    Holding cost (H) = 25% of purchase price = 25% of $3.20 = 0.25*$3.20 = $0.8

    EOQ = √ (2DC/H) = √[ (2 * 54,000 * 55) / 0.8] = √ (5,940,000/0.8) = √7,425,000 = 2,725 units

    Answer is D - 2,725 units
