accounting. It’s a formula that allows you to calculate the ideal quantity of
inventory to order for a given product

demand
relevant ordering cost
relevant carrying cost.
·Demand: The
demand, in units, for the product for a specific time period.

carrying cost: Carrying costs for one unit. Assume the unit is in stock for
the time period used for demand.
