The results of your four plans will provide an indicative EOQ value. State this value and discuss in a precise manner, why it is not the exact, true value.  Additional calculations in the form of plans E, F etc. may also assist your explanation of the EOQ and can be included
i). Complete the table assuming a Level production plan. ii) Comment on your results and explain whether at this stage, you consider a Level plan is a suitable approach for this particular business. Your comment should include reference to a calculated ‘fill rate’.
In the following sawtooth inventory profile diagram, two inventory plans with different order quantities (Q) and different frequencies of delivery are shown; order quantity for Plan A = 200 units and Plan B = 50 units. i). Total demand (D) is 350 units, the holding cost per unit (Ch) is equal to (£0.8) and the ordering cost per order (Co) is (£12.5). Calculate the total costs for each plan and state which one is more preferable along with the reason why.  ii). There is a stark difference in the composition of the total costs of Plans A and B. Explain this difference and why it occurs. Use the breakdown of costs for each plan to help illustrate your answer.
