If A is the total items consumed per year, P is the procurement cost per order, and C is the annual inventory carrying cost per item, then the most economic ordering quantity is given by
A
$$\frac{{{\text{AP}}}}{{\text{C}}}$$
B
$$\frac{{2{\text{AP}}}}{{\text{C}}}$$
C
$$\sqrt {\frac{{2{\text{AP}}}}{{\text{C}}}} $$
D
$${\left( {\frac{{{\text{AP}}}}{{\text{C}}}} \right)^2}$$
Correct Answer: $$\sqrt {\frac{{2{\text{AP}}}}{{\text{C}}}} $$
If A is the total items consumed per year, P is the procurement cost per order, and C is the annual inventory carrying cost per item, then the most economic ordering quantity is given by $$\sqrt {\frac{{2{\text{AP}}}}{{\text{C}}}} .$$
