Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 15P
Forrest and Dan make boxes of chocolates for which the demand is uncertain. Forrest says,“That’s life.” Ou the oilier hand, Dan believes that some demand patterns exist that could be useful for planning the purchase of sugar, chocolate, and shrimp. Forrest insists our placing a surprise chocolate-covered shrimp in sonic boxes so that‘You never know what you’ll get.” Quarterly demand (in boxes of chocolates) for the last 3 years follows:
- Use intuition and judgment to estimate quarterly demand for the fourth year.
- If the expected sales for chocolates are 14,800 cases for year 4, use the multiplicative seasonal method to prepare a
forecast for each quarter of the year. Are any of the quarterly forecasts different from what you thought you would get in part (a)?

Answer completely.
You will get up vote for sure.
You are the executive chef at a large wedding facility, and a wedding with a confirmed count of 168 is scheduled for tomorrow at noon.
Everything has been ordered except the shrimp, which was missing from the last purchase order. It will have to be a last-minute rush order, and only one supplier can get it to you in time. The purchase order will be for frozen raw, U 16-20, shrimp peeled, de-veined, tail-on, in 5-pound boxes (according to your spec for the product). You’ve dealt with this supplier before, and made a note to yourself on the jumbo shrimp spec that this vendor’s product averages 19 to 20 shrimp per pound and has a 96% yield.
Catering policy dictates that a 10% buffer be provided for unexpected guests, and the catering menu states that 5 shrimp are to be served per person. If you have 4 pounds of good jumbo shrimp on hand, how much will you order for the wedding? Will there be any leftover product? How much?

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.
