A. 566 pounds

Explanation:

Given: Demand for rice is very consistent= 200 pounds per month.

Cost of rice per order= $50 per order.

Rice cost= $5 per pound.

Carrying charge= 15%

EOQ: Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the number of units that company should include in their inventory with each order to reduce cost of inventory.

Now, calculating EOQ.

Formula; EOQ= $\sqrt{\frac{2DP}{C} }$

D= Demand in units for specified period.

P= relevant ordering costs per order.

C= Relevant carrying cost of one unit in stock for the time period used for D.

EOQ= $\sqrt{\frac{2\times (50)(200\times 12)}{5\times 15\%} }$

⇒ EOQ= $\sqrt{\frac{2(50)(2400)}{5\times (0.15)} }$

Opening parenthesis

⇒ EOQ= $\sqrt{\frac{240000}{0.75} }$

⇒ EOQ= $\sqrt{320000}$

∴ EOQ= $565.68\ pound \approx 566\ pounds$

Hence, Economic order quantity is 566 pounds.
