Quantity Discount
By quantity discount, we mean the price per unit decreases as order quantity increases.
When quantity discounts are offered, there is a separate, U-shaped, total cost curve for each unit price.
When unit price decreases, the total cost curve drops.
A different total cost curve is applied to each price.
If we have quantity discount, then we should weigh the benefit of price discount against the increase in inventory cost.
Example
Demand for a product is 816 units / year ==> D = 816Ordering cost is $12 / order ==> S = 12Carrying cost is $4 / unit / year ==> H = 4Price schedule is as follows
Quantity (Q) Price (P)1-49 2050-79 1880-99 17100 or more 16

Total Cost with different Purchase Price
Smaller unit prices will raise total cost curve less than larger unit prices.
For each price, there is a separate U-shaped total cost curve for total cost.
Note that no single curve is applied to the entire range of quantities.
Each curve is applied to a portion of the range.
Quantity Discount
Large quantity purchasesPrice Discount - purchasing cost
Fewer orders - Ordering costs
More inventory - inventory cost
Our objective is to minimize the total annual costs
TC = SD/Q + HQ/2 + PD
In our initial model we assumed price is fixed. Therefore we did not include PD in the model.

Total Cost Including Purchasing Cost
The applicable or feasible total cost is initially on the curve with the highest unit price and then drops down curve by curve at the price breaks.
Price breaks are the minimum quantities needed to obtain the discounts.
If carrying cost is stated in terms of cost / unit of product / year, there is a single EOQ which is the same for all cost curves.
Solution Procedure
1- Compute EOQ without price considerations. This EOQ is the same for all prices.
2- But this EOQ is feasible for only one price. Identify the corresponding price and quantity.
3-If EOQ is feasible for the lowest price ==>it is the solution. If it is not, then calculate:
a) TC for EOQ and corresponding feasible price. Note that TC is…
TC = HQ/2 + SD/Q +PD
b) calculate TC for all Qs of price break after the above prices.
Compare their TC to find the best Q ==>it is the solution.

Is Q = 70 and P = 18 better orQ = 80 and P = 17 orQ = 100 and P = 16
TC = HQ/2 + SD/Q + PD
TC ( Q = 70 , P = 18) = 4(70)/2 +12(816)/70 + 18(816)TC = 14968
TC ( Q = 80 , P = 17) = 4(80)/2 +12(816)/80 + 17(816)TC = 14154
TC ( Q = 100 , P = 16) = 4(100)/2 +12(816)/100 + 16(816)TC = 13354
Example

Q=490 is in the 400-599 range. Therefore, the corresponding price is $9.
Obviously, we do not consider P=10 but what about P=8?

Example
Is Q = 490 and P = 9 better orQ = 600 and P = 8 We should compare their TC
TC = HQ/2 + SD/Q + PD
TC ( Q = 490 , P = 9) = 2(490)/2 + 48(5000)/490 + 9(5000)TC = 490 + 489.8 + 45000 = 45979.8
TC ( Q = 600 , P = 8) = 2(600)/2 + 48(5000)/600 + 8(5000)TC = 41000
Problem 2: A small manufacturing firm uses approximately 3400 pounds of chemical dye per year. Currently the firm purchases 300 pounds per order and pays $3 per pound. The supplier has just announced that orders of 1000 pounds and more will be filled at a price of $2 per pound. The ordering cost is $100 and inventory carrying cost is 51 cents per unit per year.
a) Determine the order size that will minimizes the total cost.
b) If the supplier offered a discount at 1500 pounds instead of 1000 pounds, what order size will minimize total cost?
