Answer :

Tundexi

The number of orders that the company should place per year is 6.34 orders.

Economic order quantity (EOQ) = (2* yearly demand*per order fixed cost/carrying cost per unit)^(1/2)

Economic order quantity (EOQ) = (2*(32*12)*687/144)^(1/2)

Economic order quantity (EOQ) = (2*384*4.7708)^(1/2)

Economic order quantity (EOQ) = 60.530772339

Economic order quantity (EOQ) = 60.53

Number of orders to be placed = Yearly demand / EOQ

Number of orders to be placed = (32*12)/60.53

Number of orders to be placed = 6.3439616719

Number of orders to be placed = 6.34 orders.

Therefore, the number of orders that the company should place per year is 6.34 orders.
