Next week, Super Discount Airlines has a flight from New York to Los Angeles that will be booked to capacity. The airline knows from history that an average of 25 customers (with a standard deviation of 13) cancel their reservation or do not show for the flight. Revenue from a ticket on the flight is $135. If the flight is overbooked, the airline has a policy of getting the customer on the next available flight and giving the person a free round-trip ticket on a future flight. The cost of this free round-trip ticket averages $218. Super Discount considers the cost of flying the plane from New York to Los Angeles a sunk cost. By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight? Use Excel's NORM.S.INV() function to find the z value.

You are a newsvendor selling the New York Times every morning. Before you get to work, you buy the day’s newspaper for $0.90 a copy. You sell a copy of the New York Times for $4.0. Daily demand is distributed normally with a mean of 130 and a standard deviation of 20. At the end of each morning, any leftover copies can be sold to a recycling center for $0.10. How many copies of the New York
“As soon as the customer places an Order, it is received by the Sales department and a Sales Order is created. The Sales Order is sent to the Finance Department to check if the customer has any outstanding balance for more than 60 days. The AR Clerk at the Finance Department checks and sends the results back to the Sales Department. If there is an outstanding balance for more than 60 days, the Sales Department puts the Order on hold and notifies the customer. Otherwise, the Order Entry Clerk creates an Order Confirmation and sends it to the customer. Simultaneously a Picking List is generated and sent to the Order Fulfilment Department who picks up the next set of process steps. The Order Fulfilment Department receives the Picking List and determines which Warehouse is closest to the Customer location. The Picking List is sent to that Warehouse location. There, the items from the Picking List are picked. An Invoice is generated and printed. The items are packed along with the printed…
Drug Inc. sells a high runner product that is ordered every 20 days when a sales person visits from one of the pharmaceutical companies. This product has an average daily demand of 1,500 units. The standard deviation of daily demand was calculated from evaluating data over the past three months and was found to be 550 units. Once an order is started, it takes seven days to arrive. The company would like to satisfy 95 percent of their demand. The sales person just arrived, and there are currently 10,000 units in warehouse. How many units should be ordered during that Time Period? Formula = Reorder point (time period) – On hand inventory
Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year's greeting card. The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.10 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.42 per card. The company receives $2.40 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Based on past data, the number of customers from Los Angeles is normally distributed with a mean of 2,500 and a standard deviation of 600. What is the optimal production quantity for the card for Los Angeles, if Wholemark only makes a one-time production for this area? Round to the nearest integer.
Problem 12-37 (Algo) A small grocery store sells fresh produce, which it obtains from a local farmer. During the strawberry season, demand for fresh strawberries can be reasonably approximated using a normal distribution with a mean of 36 quarts per day and a standard deviation of 5 quarts per day. Excess costs run 50 cents per quart. The grocer orders 41 quarts per day. Use Table. What is the implied cost of shortage per quart? (Round your z value to 2 decimal places, your service level probability to 4 decimal places and your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Shortage cost per quart
A warehouse manager at Mary Beth Marrs Corp. needs to simulate the demand placed on a product that does not fit standard models. The concept being measured is "demand during lead time," where both lead time and daily demand are variable. The historical record for this product, along with the cumulative distribution, appear in the table. Demand During Lead Time Cumulaive Probability Probability 120 0.01 0.01 140 0.12 0.13 160 0.35 0.48 180 0.20 0.68 200 0.04 0.72 220 0.08 0.80 240 0.20 1.00 The following random numbers have been generated: 9, 78, 40, 41, and 99. (Note: Assume the random number interval begins at 01 and ends at 00.) Based on the given probabilty distribution, for the given random number the demand during the lead time is: Random Number 9 78 40 41 99 Demand The average demand during the lead time is (enter your response as an integer). The total demand during the lead time based on the five simulations is (enter your response as an integer).
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 $11.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $25.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $3.00 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 265 boxes with a standard deviation of 42 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the Z-score. Round intermediate calculations to four decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Number of boxes ( ? )
