Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Annual demand is DD =4,000×12=4{,}000\times12 =48,000=48{,}000 components, and annual holding cost per component is H=20×0.10=₹ 2H=20\times0.10=₹\,2. Thus EOQEOQ =2DS/H=\sqrt{2DS/H} =2×48,000×120/2=\sqrt{2\times48{,}000\times120/2} =5,760,000=\sqrt{5{,}760{,}000} =2,400=2{,}400 units.
