I thought future demand could be projected in some cases?

Reorder frequency being fixed is also important, but not the main assumption here.

Wait, are we sure about that? Seems too simplistic.

The rate of demand is continuous and constant. That's key!

I feel like I might be mixing up the assumptions. Wasn't there something about setup costs decreasing with lot size? That sounds familiar.

I’m pretty certain that the rate of demand being constant is crucial for EOQ. It seems to come up a lot in practice problems.

I remember practicing a question where the fixed reorder frequency was mentioned, but I can't recall if that's a key assumption of EOQ.

I think the EOQ assumes that demand is constant, but I'm not entirely sure if it's continuous too.

Hmm, this question is about MPLS and FEC, which I've covered in my studies. I think the key is understanding what FEC is and how it's used for forwarding decisions.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we need to set up internet connectivity, but I'm not sure if we need a NAT gateway, an internet gateway, or both. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is A. Local storage at the camera is the best way to reduce the impact on recorded video during server maintenance.

This one seems pretty straightforward - I'm pretty sure administrative agency rules are published in the Federal Register, so I'll go with option B.

D) Decreasing setup costs? What is this, some kind of magic trick? The EOQ is all about balancing holding and ordering costs, not defying the laws of economics.

If the demand rate isn't constant, how are you supposed to calculate the optimal order quantity? B is clearly the right answer, duh.

A) future demand cannot be projected? Really? That's like the opposite of what the EOQ is all about. B is the way to go, no doubt.

Hmm, I was leaning towards D, but I can see how that wouldn't be a core assumption of the model. Gotta love those tricky supply chain questions!

I was torn between B and C, but I think B makes the most sense. The EOQ model requires a stable, predictable demand pattern.
