Given four production runs and an annual demand of 5.000 units, each production run must generate 1,250 units. Inventory will total 1.250 units at the completion of each run but will decline to zero just prior to the next run. Thus, the average inventory is 625 units (1.250 + 2), and the total carrying cost is US $6,250 (625 units x $10).
