Answer:

80 quantities

Explanation:

to get the order size of the item, we have to use this formula

[tex]optimal quantity = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} }[/tex]

From this formula above,

D = annual demand = 1600

s = set up cost= 12

h = holding cost = 6

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*1600*12}{6} }[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{6400} \\=80[/tex]

from this solution above, the order size should be 80  quantities

thank you
