A retailer uses a periodic review order-up-to model to control the inventory of one of its high volume products. Average demand is 2580 units per week with a standard deviation of 1270.

That One Book sells its books through The Witch and the Wardrobe bookstores. 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.
