B. Now Amitabh makes a commitment to all of his customers: he WILL get them the shampoo if they want it, no matter what! He is able to do this because he will expedite Pumpkin Spice Shampoo from his supplier at $15 per bottle cost to himself (this includes the expedited shipping cost of $12.80 plus the $2.20 cost of the product itself). The cost is high, but he thinks his future business depends on taking such risks, and ensuring customer loyalty. This means that if demand is 101, and if he ordered 100 initially, then he would need to expedite (101100=)1 bottle, and pay $15 to expedite this one bottle; we would sell it to the 101st customer for $8 at a loss of $7.
