PURCHASE POINT DISCOUNT

When offered quantity discounts, the problem may be restated in terms of a


choice between total inventory cost on two different orders.

To determine whether a quantity discount offers a true advantage, you must:


1. Calculate the EOQ. If the EOQ is greater than the quantity required to
take advantage of the discount, then do so. If not, move to step 2.
2. Calculate the total annual costs of both options and select the option
with the lowest annual total costs.
