None of the above

Explanation:

optimal time between orders = working days / expected number of orders

working days = 300 expected number of orders = ?

expected number of orders = D / EOQ

Q = EOQ = ? D = annual demand = daily demand x working days = 600 x 300 = 180,000

so we must first find economic order quantity (EOQ) = √ (2DS / H)

D = 180,000 S = order cost = $10 H = holding cost = $1 per year

EOQ = √ (2DS / H) = √ (2 x 180,000 x $10 / $1) = √360,000 = 1,897.36 ≈ 1,897 units

N = D / EOQ = 180,000 / 1,897 = 94.89 orders per year

optimal time between orders = working days / expected number of orders = 300 working days / 94.89 order = 3.16 days
