The primary purpose of the basic economic order quantity model is
a. to calculate the reorder point, so that replenishments take place at the proper time
b. to minimize the sum of carrying cost and holding cost
c. to maximize the customer service level
d. to minimize the sum of setup cost and holding cost e. to calculate the optimum safety stock

D. to minimize the sum of setup cost and holding cost e. to calculate the optimum safety stock

Explanation:

Economic order quantity ( EOQ ) is formulated as :

Co = Ordering cost

D = annual demand

Ch = Annual unit holding cost

Economic quantity is the order quantity which minimizes sum of annual cost of ordering and annual inventory holding cost  so to minimize the overall cost of the inventory.

ANSWER : d) to minimize the sum of setup cost and holding cost that is to calculate the optimum safety stock.

genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).

the water is warmed up by the sun and then it evaporates into the atmosphere. the sunlight warms the water by its heat. water is then cooled down and condensation takes place. the water then finally returns back to the earth by the process of precipitation in the form of rain or ice.
