a. 598 units

b. $897

c. $898

Explanation:

a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= 598 units

b. The average inventory would equal to

= Economic order quantity ÷ 2

= 598 units ÷ 2

= 299 units

Carrying cost = average inventory × carrying cost per unit

= 299 units × $3

= $897

c. The number of orders would be equal to

= Annual demand ÷ economic order quantity

= $19,900 ÷ 598 units

= 33.28 orders

Ordering cost = Number of orders × ordering cost per order

= 33.28 orders × $27

= $898
