PINANIA is a famous chocolate factory in Switzerland. Each year, the company must produce as many as 2,200 units (with the same amount of production). Sales are evenly distributed throughout the year. The company wants to determine the number of sizes that can be charged for ordering (setup costs) and holding costs (carrying costs). It can be seen that the production cost for each unit is $50, the carrying cost is 10% of the average inventory and the setup cost is $20 (per production). Question : By using the Differentiation Method (1st and 2nd Derivative Test), Determine the economic lot size for the company and provide an explanation of the calculation results.
