This question will have you calculating 2 EOQ, ROP and Total Cost values and interpreting the results. For both EOQ and ROP values, give your final answer in full sock sets (ROUND UP to the next whole number). The specific questions to answer are based in parts a-c. Tips to solve the EOQ and ROP are given below in bullet points.

a) Calculate EOQ and ROP for FY2019 based on the FY2019 forecast value, using the forecast method posted
