Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the order quantity that minimizes total inventory costs.

Total inventory cost is comprised of the following main costs:

Cost of purchase.
Order costs.
Holding costs.

If we change the order quantity, it can affect the different types of inventory costs in different ways.

So, on changing demand and order cost, EOQ thus remains unchanged.

Suppose we have a ball .
And price of 1 ball is 5 rupees.

Order for 10 balls; So the total Economy will be. 10*5=50
According to the question; 10 * 3 * 5/3 = 50.
So, the Economy will not change.
