The annual demand for a product is 15,200 units. The weekly demand is 292 units with a standard deviation of 80 units. The cost to place an order is $33.50, and the time from ordering to receipt is two weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.10 per unit. The reorder point is 730. Suppose the production manager is asked to reduce the safety stock of this item by 45 percent. If she does so, what will the new service probability be? (Use Excel's NORMSDIST() function to find the correct probability for your computed Z-value. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to 1 decimal place.)  *The answer is not 28% or 42% or 58% or 71% or 86.6% or 90%
