A supplier for an electronics store has introduced quantity discounts to encourage larger order quantities of cameras. The price schedule is:

Quantity purchased Price per unit
fewer than 525 $80
at least 525 $75

Suppose the monthly demand at a retail store that buys from this retailer and resells is 175 units. The supplier charges a fixed cost of $180 per shipment. The cameras are expected to sell well for multiple seasons, so multiple replenishment opportunities are possible.

What is the stock-out probability the retailer achieves by setting the reorder point to 215 units if the standard deviation of the monthly demand is 20 and the supplier can guarantee a 1-month lead time?
