A company carries $10$ items in stock, each with an economic order quantity of $\$ 20,000$. Through a program of component standardization, the $10$ items are reduced to $5$ . The total annual demand is the same, but the annual demand for each item is twice what it was before. In Chapter $10$ , we learned that the economic order quantity varies as the square root of the annual demand. Since the annual demand for each item is now doubled, calculate:
a. The new EOQ.
b. The total average inventory before standardization.
c. The total average inventory after standardization.
