Italia Aerospace Industries (IAI) produces parts for Boeing and Airbus. One of their most important parts is the stringer-a critical part of a commercial aircraft's fuselage. In order to produce these stringers, IAI needs fasteners, which they purchase in huge quantities from a Japanese firm. Italia Aerospace Industries will require 200,000 fasteners for next year. The cost of placing an order is $2,000 because of legal requirements. The unit cost of a fastener is $26. The holding cost for IAI is 13.5% of purchasing price. How many times per year would IAI have to place an order? (Round to two decimal places.)

    Number of order = 13.2 times

    Explanation:

    The economic order quantity is the order quantity that minimizes the total of ordering costs and holding costs.

    EOQ is computed thus:

    EOQ = √ (2 * Co * D) / Ch

    Co ordering cost - 2000,

    Ch - holding cost - 13.5% * 26 =

    A - annual demand - 200,000

    EOQ = √ (2 * 2000 * 200,000) / (13.5% * 26)

    = 15,097.02712

    The number of times IAI would place order

    = Annual demand? order quantity

    = 200,000/15,097.02

    = 13.2 times
