Chapter 5.3, Problem 22E
The demand for a product of Carolina Industries varies greatly from month to month. The
| Unit Demand | Probability |
| 300 | .20 |
| 400 | .30 |
| 500 | .35 |
| 600 | .15 |
- a. If the company bases monthly orders on the
expected value of the monthly demand, what should Carolina’s monthly order quantity be for this product? - b. Assume that each unit demanded generates $70 in revenue and that each unit ordered costs $50. How much will the company gain or lose in a month if it places an order based on your answer to part (a) and the actual demand for the item is 300 units?
