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 $1.50. Daily demand is distributed normally with mean = 285 and standard deviation = 57. At the end of each morning, any leftover copies are worthless and they go to a recycle bin. How many copies of San Pedro Times should you buy each morning?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total number of copies that buy each morning is Q = 357.96

Explanation:

Given Data:

cost of per copy = $0.30

Buying cost for paper =$1.50

standard deviation = 57

mean = 285

[tex]service\ level = \frac{ profit}{profit + per\ copy\ cost}[/tex]

[tex]service\ level = \frac{1.50-0.30}{(1.50-0.30 )+0.30}[/tex]

service level = 0.80

z value for  80% is 1.28

Therefore total number of copies calculated as

[tex]Q = \sigma z + \mu[/tex]

[tex]Q = 1.28\times 57 +285[/tex]

Q = 357.96
