- 1.) A firm orders on average 400 wheels each month. Demand is normally distributed with standard deviation of the monthly demand being 20 wheels. The ordering cost is $8 per order. The cost to buy one wheel is $4 per wheel. Annual carrying costs are 50% of unit cost. The supplier lead time is 2 operating days. The firm operates 240 days per year, in other word, the firm operates 20 days each month. Each order is received from the supplier in a single delivery. There are no quantity discounts. Write your answer and then Round your answer up to the nearest number for future calculation. (e.g 9.6 => 10). Please clearly write down the formulation and calculation for your answers. Note: Here I make the time measures bolded for you to make you pay the attention to their differences.

- A daily newspaper is stocked by a coffee shop so its patrons can purchase and read it while they drink coffee. The newspaper costs $1.16 per unit and sells for $1.75 per unit. If units are unsold at the end of the day, the supplier takes them back at a rebate of $1 per unit. Assume that daily demand is approximately normally distributed with ? = 150 and ? = 30. (a) What is your recommended daily order quantity for the coffee shop? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) (b) What is the probability that the coffee shop will sell all the units it orders? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) In problems such as these, why would the supplier offer a rebate as high as $1? For example, why not offer a nominal rebate?
