Answer:

$1,200

Explanation:

total annual holding cost = average number of units in inventory x annual holding cost per unit

  • average number of units in inventory = 500 units / 2 = 250 units
  • annual holding cost per unit = $48 x 10% = $4.8

total annual holding cost = $4.80 x 250 units = $1,200

Total annual holding cost per unit includes all the costs associated to keeping a certain inventory level, e.g. warehouse costs like rent and utilities, salaries of hte employees that work in the warehouse, insurance, etc.
