Because although some products are more than in the warehouse, some demands that come due to the fact that the ban products are not enough in the warehouse are avoided. For this reason, it plans not to miss any demand by producing and storing enough of all its products, and of course it is considering building a new and larger warehouse to store more products.

- The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure very 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 $4 a box. The lettuce is sold for $10 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $1.50 a box. Past history says that tomorrow’s demand for lettuce averages 250 boxes, with a standard deviation of 34 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow?arrow_forwardYou need 2 kilograms of cleaned apricots. The yield percent is 91%.

It will make one quantity decision. It costs Montanso $6 to make each kilogram (kg) of seed. It sells each kg for $45. If it has more seed than demanded by the local farmers, the remaining seed is sent overseas. Unfortunately, it only earns $2 per kg from the overseas market (but this is better than destroying the seed because it cannot be stored until next year). If demand exceeds its quantity, then the sales are lost—the farmers go to another supplier. As a forecast for demand, it will use a normal distribution with a mean of 325,000 and a standard deviation of 150,000. Use Table 13.4 a. How many kilograms should Montanso place in the warehouse before the growing season? Use Table 13.4 and round-up rule. b. If Montanso put 400000 kgs in the warehouse, what is its expected revenue (include both domestic revenue and…arrow_forward
