Answer:

Check th explanation

Explanation:

2a.

Here, we will have to apply the economic production quantity as we have to identify optimal production quantity to minimize the cost.

Annual Demand D = 60000

Working Days = 240

Daily Demand d= 60000/240 = 250

Production Rate p = 300

Set up cost S = 150

Holding cost H = 3

Economic Production Quantity Q = (2DS/(H*(1-(d/p))))^(1/2)

Q = (2*60000*150/(3*(1-(250/300))))^(1/2)

Q = 6000 units
