Problem 20-10 (Algo)
You are a newsvendor selling San Pedro Times every morning. Before you get to work, you go to the printer and buy the day's paper
for $0.30 a copy. You sell a copy of San Pedro Times for $1.10. Daily demand is distributed normally with mean = 265 and standard
deviation = 53. At the end of each morning, any leftover copies are worthless and they go to a recycle bin.
a. How many copies of San Pedro Times should you buy each morning? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical
value for the given a-level. Round your z-value to 2 decimal places and final answer to to 2 decimal places.)
Optimal order quantity
b. Based on a, what is the probability that you will run out of stock? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Over the last 6 months the large-sized lawn and garden inventory (ie, tables, chairs, planters, etc.) has appeared to be short. The inventory records that employees use to determine what is on hand show that more inventory is available than can actually be located. This has cause frustration and mis-trust in the inventory records for the sales employees. The owner realizes that the problem is bigger than just frustrated employees. He is afraid that inventory is being stolen, a problem he didn't think possible given that these are large items that are not easily moved. Requirements: Provide the owner with two internal controls that he could implement to reduce the likelihood of theft of the lawn and garden inventory.arrow_forward
