That One Book sells its books through The Witch and the Wardrobe bookstores. It costs That One Book $0.80 to print each book; it sells the book to The Witch and the Wardrobe for $2.50. The Witch and the Wardrobe then sells the books at retail for $6.00. Whatever doesn’t sell gets thrown away. Demand for the book each issue is normal with a mean of 5219 and a standard deviation of 1610.
To give The Witch and the Wardrobe incentive to order more books, it proposes a revenue-sharing contract. Instead of selling the book to The Witch and the Wardrobe for $2.50, That One Book will sell its books to The Witch and the Wardrobe for only $1.00. However, for each book that The Witch and the Wardrobe sells at retail, The Witch and the Wardrobe must give $2.00 back to That One Book.
With this revenue sharing agreement in place, what is the optimal order amount that will maximize The Witch and the Wardrobe expected profit?

Models of inventory systems frequently consider the relationships among a beginning inventory,a production quantity, a demand or sales, and an ending inventory. For a givenproduction period j, letsj-1 = ending inventory from the previous period (beginning inventory for period j)xj = production quantity in period jdj = demand in period jsj = ending inventory for period ja. Write the mathematical relationship or model that shows ending inventory as a functionof beginning inventory, production, and demand.b. What constraint should be added if production capacity for period j is given by Cj?c. What constraint should be added if inventory requirements for period j mandate anending inventory of at least Ij?

- Consider two products A and B that have identical cost, retail price and demand parameters and the same short selling season. The newsvendor model is used to manage inventory for both products. Product A is to be discontinued at the end of the season this year, and the leftovers will be salvaged at 65% of the cost. Product B will be re-offered next summer, so any leftovers this year can be carried over to the next year while incurring a holding cost on each leftover unit equal to 20% of the product's cost. How do the stocking quantities for these products compare? Multiple Choice Stocking quantity of product A is higher. Stocking quantity of product B is higher. The answer cannot be determined from the data provided. Stocking quantities are equal.arrow_forwardYour company currently keeps a safety stock of 554 units of a particular product that has a lead time of 10 days.
