    hi

    I would like to ask your professional advice the reason why the denominator is different in EOQ model applied to Cash & Inventory.
    in Cash, I don't understand why denominator of cash EOQ is able to apply percentage.
    I tried to find the reason of the different formula but I can't find.
    just should I memorize it as described in book?

    Cash EOQ: Interest rate for current marketable securities or the opportunity cost of holding cash instead of current marketable securities (e.g. 5% or 10%)
    Inventory EOQ: Carrying cost of one unit for the same time period used (e.g. U$ 100 or U$ 2,000)
