If safety stock is 6 and the EOQ is 50, average inventory level is A. 80 B. 86 C. 85 D. 90 E. None of the above

80
86
85
90 E. None of the above

The correct answer is $\boxed{\text{B) 86}}$.

The average inventory level is the sum of the safety stock and the economic order quantity (EOQ) divided by 2. In this case, the safety stock is 6 and the EOQ is 50, so the average inventory level is $\frac{6+50}{2}=\boxed{86}$.

Option A is incorrect because it is the sum of the safety stock and the EOQ. Option C is incorrect because it is the EOQ minus the safety stock. Option D is incorrect because it is the EOQ plus the safety stock. Option E is incorrect because it is not a possible value for the average inventory level.
