1. A local producer of vegetables is deciding how much inventory to have to meet the next week's demand. Vegetable products are perishable with a shelf-life of a week. Based on the historical observations, the company expects the weekly demand to follow a normal distribution with mean 4500 pounds and standard deviation of 400 pounds. The price of the product is $14 per pound in the store, and it costs $6 to produce. If there are any leftovers, the company is required to dispose them safely to avoid any pollution. This process costs $0.5 per pound. Answer the following questions. a) What is the cost of overage per pound? b) What is the cost of underage per pound? c) What is the optimal order quantity?

As with other products, Fisher-Price faces the decision of how many Weather Teddy units to order for the comingholiday season. Members of the management team suggested order quantities of 15,000, 18,000, 24,000, or28,000 units. The wide range of order quantities suggested indicates considerable disagreement concerning themarket potential. The product management team asks you for an analysis of the stock-out probabilities forvarious order quantities, an estimate of the profit potential, and to help make an order quantity recommendation.Fisher-Price expects to sell Weather Teddy for $24 based on a cost of $16 per unit. If inventory remains afterthe holiday season, Fisher-Price will sell all surplus inventory for $5 per unit. After reviewing the sales historyof similar products, Fisher-Price’s senior sales forecaster predicted an expected demand of 20,000 units with a.95 probability that demand would be between 10,000 units and 30,000 units.

The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning, any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week, the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $8.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $16.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $1.80 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 245 boxes with a standard deviation of 38 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given a-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Number of boxes
