A book retailer LuvBooks is trying to decide on how many copies of a book to purchase at the start of the upcoming selling season for its bookstore. The book retails at $28.00. The publisher sells the book to the retailer for $20.00. LuvBooks estimates that demand for this book during the season is normal with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 42. The publisher’s variable cost per book is $7.50. LuvBooks will dispose of all of the unsold copies of the book at 75 percent off the retail price (meaning 25% of the retail price), at the end of the season. What is LuvBooks’ expected profit and the publisher expected profit?
