The economic order quantity cannot be used when holding costs are a percentage of purchase cost.
true.
false.
Buffer stock is the level of stock
Minimum stock level below which actual stock should not fall

Half of the actual stock
At which the ordering process should start

Using the EOQ model, if an items holding cost increases, its order quantity will decrease.
true.
false.
Using the basic EOQ model, if the ordering cost doubles, the order quantity will be
about 71% of its former value
unaffected
double its former value
about 50% of its former value
The two basic questions in inventory management are how much to order and when to order.
true.
false.
The time period between placing an order its receipt in stock is known as
Lead time
Carrying time
Shortage time
Over time
The order cost per order of an inventory is Rs. 400 with an annual carrying cost of Rs. 10 per unit. The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) for an annual demand of 2000 units is
400
440
480
500
The minimum stock level is calculated as
Reorder level - (Nornal consumption x Normal delivery time)
Reorder level + (Nornal consumption x Normal delivery time)
(Reorder level + Nornal consumption) x Normal delivery time
(Reorder level + Nornal consumption) / Normal delivery time
The following classes of costs are usually involved in inventory decisions except
Cost of ordering
Carrying cost
Cost of shortages
Machining cost
The cost of insurance and taxes are included in
Cost of ordering
Set up cost
Inventory carrying cost
Cost of shortages
Setup costs are analogous to which one of these costs?
shortage
holding
excess
ordering
Re-ordering level is calculated as
Maximum consumption rate x Maximum re-order period
Minimum consumption rate x Minimum re-order period
Maximum consumption rate x Minimum re-order period
Minimum consumption rate x Maximum re-order period
Other things beings equal, an increase in lead time for inventory orders will result in an increase in the:
order size
order frequency
reorder point
Inventory might be held to take advantage of order cycles.
true.
false.
Increasing the order quantity so that it is slightly above the EOQ would not increase the total cost by very much.
true.
false.
