Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with a lead time of 11 days. The unit purchase cost is $36.5 - per unit. The cost to place and process an order from the supplier is $182 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 12.7 percent of the unit purchase cost. The manufacturer operates 250 days a year. Assume EOQ model is appropriate. If the manufacturer uses a constant order quantity of 2,933 units per order, what is the annual holding cost?
