(b) What would be the optimal order quantity if the carrying costs were cut in half to Rs. 0.05 a chip per month?
(c) What would be the optimal order quantity if the carrying costs were reduced to Rs. 10.00 per month?

You know what, The first thing to pass in CSS EXAM is use your smartness and thats why only smart people pass CSS, and bookworms only abuse their fate.

The Questions you mentioned in your topic, Is highly associated with Financial Management, And if you look back into the past papers, you will never find any such type of questions, Than why Waste our precious time?.

I recommend you to, Just solve 10-15 years Papers, and rest left with ALLAH. I was doing today Accounting. And i did the same what i have mentioned in my post. Trust me Smart ways works every time.

It has also appeared 2 times before this in past papers. I am not able 2 solve this EOQ qestion baqi to sub hojata hai leken is main prob hai. Please bro solve it 4 me

Q.2…. ABC Company deals in computer chips and buys these chips from several manufacturers. Chips are ordered in lot sizes of 1000 and each order costs Rs. 40.00 to place. Monthly demand is expected to be 20,000 chips. ABC works out Rs. 0.10 as carrying cost for each chip.
(a) What is optimal order quantity with respect to so many lot sizes (that is, what multiple of 1000 units should be ordered)?
(b) What would be the optimal order quantity if the carrying costs were cut in half to Rs. 0.05 a chip per month?
(c) What would be the optimal order quantity if the carrying costs were reduced to Rs. 10.00 per month?

If I am not wrong then here goes the solution. Please do check it...

1 Lot = 1000 chips
O = 40
S = Monthly Demand = 20,000 chips
S = 20 Lots
C = 0.10 per chip
C = 100 per lot

Q = Under-root ( 2(O)(S)/C )

a)=4lots = 4000 chips
b)=32lots = 32000 chips
c)=2lots = 2000 chips
