If all of the assumptions for the basic EOQ model are met, the fixed-period model will behave exactly like the EOQ model.

Question

The fixed-period model is a special case of the EOQ model where the order quantity is fixed and the time between orders is variable. When all of the assumptions for the basic EOQ model are met, the fixed-period model will behave exactly like the EOQ model because the optimal order quantity will be the same in both models.
