New Wave Electronics
New Wave Electronics prides itself in having all the latest tech on the shelves. Recently a new model of fitness tracker has come out and the manager needs to decide how many the company should order. Fitness Trackers can go obsolete quickly because new models are constantly being revealed. Once a new model is released, any remaining stock must be discounted and sold at a loss. The company can purchase the fitness trackers for $150 a piece from the manufacturer and they sell them for $250. Demand for previous releases of new fitness trackers has averaged 560 units with a standard deviation of 80 units and been normally distributed. The typical discount price of old models is $75.
