Key Points
- Economic order quantity (EOQ):
- The EOQ formula is: EOQ = √(2DK/H)
- In this formula:
- D = The number of units purchased of a particular product per year (annual demand)
- K = Order cost per purchase order
- H = Annual holding cost per unit
- Here
- D = 90,000 units
- K = 300 units

- EOQ=3000 units
Hence we can say that the correct answer is 3000 units
