Sol:
1. Let X = the demand for the toy.
From tables of areas under the standard normal curve (30000-20000)/σ = 1.96
where Z is distributed as standard normal and z will be greater than K must be 1.000 –
cumulative probability.
Loss of -$23,000
Profit: $144,000
Loss of $119,000
Profit: $116,000
Profit: $192,000
Cost of sales per unit $24 - Cost of goods sold $16 = profit per unit 8
Cost of sales per unit $24 – Cost of surplus inventory $5 – profit per $8 = coverage $11
(K-20000)/5102 = 0.5244
22,675*16 = $362,800
The best recommendation would be to order between 15,000 to 18,000 because even in the worst
scenario, if the order quantity is 15,000 there will be profit of about $89,137.50 which puts you
at the mid-range mark.
