a. Economic Order Quantity Computation. Compute the Economic Order Quantity Q* for eggs.
b. Safety Stock Computation. Compute the safety stock of eggs it would take to assure a
99.87% service level.
c. Reorder Point Computation. Compute the Reorder Point for eggs, using the safety stock that
you calculated in 5b.
d. Days of Supply expression of ROP. We could express the Reorder Point rule from part 5c this
way: Order more eggs when the supply is X days. Give an expression for X.
