Problem 11-14 (Algo) Charlie's Pizza orders all of its pepperoni, olives, anchovies, and mozzarella cheese to be shipped directly from Italy. An American distributor stops by every four weeks to take orders. Because the orders are shipped directly from Italy, they take three weeks to arrive. Charlie's Pizza uses an average of 250 pounds of pepperoni each week, with a standard deviation of 12 pounds. Charlie's prides itself on offering only the best-quality ingredients and a high level of service, so it wants to ensure a 90 percent probability of not stocking out on pepperoni. Assume that the sales representative just walked in the door and there are currently 450 pounds of pepperoni in the walk-in cooler. How many pounds of pepperoni would you order? Note: Use Excel's NORM.S.INV() function to find the z value. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round z value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number. Amount of pepperoni ordered

chapter 4 14. The toy buyer had the option of ordering stuffed animals directly from the manufacturer or from a nearby wholesaler. The manufacturer will not ship orders for less than $1,200 total list price. Delivery typically requires five weeks, and freight averages 2.5% of total billed cost. Trade discounts on the merchandise are 40% and 10%; terms are 2/10, n/30. A wholesaler located in the retailer's area stocks many of the same stuffed animals. he does not require a minimum order and will deliver at no charge in the area if the order has a total billed cost of at least $500. The manufacturer and wholesaler base cost on the same list price; however the wholesaler sells with trade discounts of 40% and 8% and terms of 1/15, n/30. What is the difference in the total net cost (including freight) of merchandise with a total list price of $1,200 from these two vendors? (Present your answer with a comma separator, dollar-sign, and rounded to the penny (i.e. $1,234.56).)
