David Spiceland, Wayne Thomas 1,097 solutions What is the relationship between carrying cost and ordering cost?In case of purchases in large quantities, carrying costs increase but ordering cost decrease. On the other hand, if goods are purchased in small quantities, carrying costs decrease but ordering costs increase due to increased number of orders.
What will happen to the ordering cost and the holding cost as the order quantity increases for a material?The cost of ordering inventory falls with the increase in ordering volume due to purchasing on economies of scale. However, as the size of inventory grows, the cost of holding the inventory rises. EOQ is the exact point that minimizes both of these inversely related costs.
How would an increase in ordering costs affect the EOQ?Economic order quantity will be higher if the company's setup costs or product demand increases. On the other hand, it will be lower if the company's holding costs increase.
What will happen to EOQ If ordering cost decrease?For example, if you reduced your product costs your EOQ will go up. If the bank interest rates are low, your lot size will go up.
