Answer:
Quantity discounts can be taken advantage of for large lot sizes.
Explanation:
The EOQ model assumptions:
the order of one item does not intervene with the other.
The order will arrive without delay and with a specific amount of goods.
no losses or damage in transit
The EOQ does not consider the discount for large lot size, their formula does not consider the value of the goods:
[tex]Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}[/tex]
Its use: Demand of the good
cost of Setup, or ordering cost.
and Holding cost, the cost of keeping the inventory
There is no variable to account for discounts for order size in this method
