normal usage and requirement are something same thing... but A means annual requirement and if normal usage is given then take normal usage as A. and also clarify what do you mean by demanded quantity.

If i am right you are asking about demand quantity of Product (not input). But for EOQ, we take normal usage as Annual demand. For more clearance you can see ICAI Study Mat. Illustration (Page. 2.31 and Page 2.37) hope you can better understand from Illustrations.

annual requirement of the product ... not counsumption because this relates to what quantity we should purchase and purchase can include good to be retain in stock...

 

 

i hope this solves ur query..
