- The EOQ point is
a) The minimum point of the total cost curve hence calculus can be used to determine EOQ by determining the turning point of the total cost curve.
b) EOQ point is also given by the point of intersection between holding cost ordering cost i.e. at EOQ holding cost is equal to ordering cost.
EOQ formula
Mathematical derivation of EOQ using calculus let:
Cost per order be CO
Annual demand be D
Quantity per order Q
Holding cost per unit CH
