a.

The optimal order quantity per order

D= 1200

Cc= 170

Co= 450

b. The minimum total annual inventory costs

𝑄 𝐷
Total cost = Cc + Co

= 79.7

=15.05 orders

d. The optimal time between orders (in working days)

Number of working days in the year= 364

Number of orders= 15.05

Optimal time= 364/15.05

=24.18 days
