Question
Maira Hijab Enterprise (MHE) is a supplier that sells Exclusive Embroidery Silk Hijabs to
boutique and online resellers. The annual demand is approximately 360 hijabs. MHE pays
RM50 for each hijab and estimates that the annual holding cost is 2 percent of the hijab's
value. It costs approximately RM100 to place an order (managerial and clerical costs).
Required:
Determine the economic order quantity (EOQ) (Round up your answers to the nearest
figure).
а.
b.
Assuming a 300-day work year, how many orders should be processed per year and
what is the expected time between orders?
С.
Calculate the total cost for the order.
d.
After several months of the introduction of the Exclusive Hijab, MHE decides to
all costs related to their product due to the increment of hijab’s costs by the supplier.
MHE currently orders 1000 hijabs per month. The new information as regards to the
Exclusive Hijab is as follows:
i. The ordering cost for these is RM100 per order and
ii. The carrying cost is assumed to be 40% of the per unit cost.
The hijab's cost is RM78 per unit; however, if the order is 120 or more, the cost drops
to RM50 per unit. Should MHE takes advantage of the quantity discount?
