Wait, is "total inventory cost" really not in the EOQ? Sounds off.

I thought reorder quantity was important too, but it's not in EOQ.

I remember practicing a question that asked about the components of EOQ, and I feel like the total inventory cost is definitely included.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to review my notes on the EOQ formula to be sure I'm selecting the right answer. I don't want to guess and risk getting it wrong.

Okay, let me think this through. The EOQ equation is used to determine the optimal order quantity to minimize total costs, so it must include things like total purchases, ordering costs, and inventory costs. I'll go with option A as my final answer.
