Music Today LLC has been serious issues with respect to ordering the right amount of inventory and after the right interval in order to not only eliminate stock-outs but also to ensure low holding cost. Figures within the EOQ column suggest the recommended amount of quantity, Music Today LLC should order every time. Since, all products are delivered within the case of 25, 50, or 100; therefore, in the third column, figures are rounded off to the nearest order-able value as per the case quantity.

For instance, NT CD should be ordered 17 times a year with each order size of 2,600 units, or 26 cases. Similarly, NT Black Toboggan Hat must be ordered 7 times per year with each order size of 825 units.

Case Analysis for Musictoday LLC Implementing a Periodic Review Inventory System

1. Economic Order Quantity Calculation

Variables’ Key

C = Unit Production Cost

A = Annual Demand

Cp = Cost per Order

Ch = Annual Holding Cost of a Unit

P = Retail Price

TC = Total Cost

Q = Optimal Order Quantity

Formulae

Annual Holding Cost = Cost price of the product * 15%

Total cost function = (Unit Cost * Annual Demand) + ((Annual Demand * ordering cost) / EOQ) + (Holding cost * EOQ / 2)

Economic Order Quantity = SQRT ((2 * Annual Demand * Cost per order) / Cost of holding)

Number of Orders per year = Annual Demand / Economic Order Quantity
