Required: What percentage of discount in the price of input should be negotiated if the company proposes to rationalize placements of orders on monthly basis? Suppose the company followed the policy of economic order quantity and at the end of the year, it was found that the cost of placing an order was 108 instead of 75 and all other estimates were correct. What is the difference in cost on account of this error? Solution: (i) Carrying Cost per unit p.a. (C) = 2% ร 12 ร โน 50 = โน 12
