1.You will need Interactive Illustration 1 to answer this question. Let's assume that we have a product with Price = 7.8 and Cost = 5.9 product with a Salvage Value = 0.0. (This is a classic low margin product.) The mean "Early Season Customer Demand" is 2,500 units with a standard deviation of 800. The mean "Late Season Customer Demand" is 8,000 units with a standard deviation of 2,700. Fortunately, there's a perfect 1.0 "Correlation of Demand Between Periods" (that is, early season demand perfectly predicts late season demand). What is the approximate "Percent Improvement in Profits" when using a Read-React process instead of a One Order Period process?

2.You will need Interactive Illustration 1 to answer this question. Let's assume that we have a product with Price = 11.8 and Cost = 4.2 product with a Salvage Value = 2.0. (This is a high margin product.) The mean "Early Season Customer Demand" is 2,000 units with a standard deviation of 100. The mean "Late Season Customer Demand" is 6,000 units with a standard deviation of 1,000. Fortunately, there's 0.0 "Correlation of Demand Between Periods" (that is, no relationship between early season demand and late season demand).
