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

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.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'm leaning towards D, since the reorder quantity is what the whole equation is trying to determine. But I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.
