Answer:

240 units

Explanation:

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order quantity that minimizes annual ordering and holding costs. It is calculated as :

EOQ = √(2 x annual demand x cost per order) ÷ holding cost per unit

therefore,

EOQ = √(2 x 1,000 x 12 x $6) ÷ $2.50

        = √57,600

        = 240 units

Thus, 240 units would be the order quantity that minimizes annual ordering and holding costs
