23 January 2011 Hi Dear..

EOQ determines the 'optimum order quantity' that a company should hold in its inventory given a set cost of production, demand rate and other variables. This is done to minimize variable inventory costs.

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)= Square root of (2SD/ PI)

where :
S = Setup costs
D = Demand rate
P = Production cost
I = Interest rate (considered an opportunity cost, so the risk-free rate can be used)
