The wholesale price charged by retailers is $24 and the retailers sell the product for more than $50. The blank jerseys(other) cost $9.50 and a dressed jersey(player named) costs $10.90. The cost to decorate a blank jersey is around $2.40. The salvage value of a discounted dressed jersey is $7.00. The cost of holding a jersey is $1.45 which is 11 percent of the manufacturing cost. The salvage value for unsold blank jerseys is $9.50 - $1.40 = $8.46.
The underage cost for a blank jersey is calculated as $24.00 - $11.90 = $12.10. The overage cost of the blank jersey is calculated as $9.50 - $8.46 = $1.04. The probability of meeting demand is 0.92. The underage cost of the dressed jersey is $24 - $10.90 = $13.10 and the overage cost is $10.90 - $7.00 = $3.90. The underage cost if a blank is available to utilize is $1.00. The critical ratio is 0.33.
