    Optimal EPQ quantity = 2633

    Explanation:

    Annual demand = D = 200 / week x 52 weeks = 10400 units

    Cost to place an order = Co = $2

    Weekly inventory carrying cost = I = $0.01

    Weekly demand = d = 200 units

    Weekly production rate = p = 500

    Optimal EPQ quantity = Square root (2 x D x C/I x (p/p-d))

    = Square root (2 x 10400 x 2/0.01x (500 / 500 - 200)

    = Square root (2 x 10400 x 200 x 500/300)

    = 2633.12 (2633 rounded to nearest whole number)
