Please confirm the answer for question 3 and the rest of the question. I need an expert tutor to look over my solution
You are a newsvendor selling the San Pedro Times every morning. Before you get to work, you go to the printer and buy the days paper for $0.50 a copy. You sell a copy of the San Pedro Times for $2.50. Daily demand is distributed normally with mean =300 and standard deviation =50. At the end of each morning, any leftover copies are worthless and they go to a recycle bin. According to the above information, answer the following six questions.
Please confirm my answer and make adjustment also complete
Question 1
Determine the underage cost. Keep two decimals.
selling price - procurement/manufacturing cost
$2.50-.50=2.00
Question 2
Determine the critical ratio. Keep two decimals.
Cost of overage(Co)= Cost price - salvage value =0.5-0=0.5
Cu/Cu+Co=2.00/2.00+.50.=0.80 or 80%
Question 3
Determine the optimal order quantity. Round your answer to the nearest integer.
FORMULA FOR (EOQ)
Q*=SQR(2KD)/H
please answer this question?
Question 4
Everything else being equal, which of the following will lead to increased optimal order quantity?
Increase the cost of the paper from $0.50 to $0.60.
Reduce the selling price from $2.50 to $2.20.
Increase the standard deviation of demand from 50 to 60.
Reduce the mean of the demand from 300 to 250.
Question 5
Suppose you want to find the order quantity that ensures a 95% in-stock probability, determine the order quantity. Round your answer to the nearest integer.
To find the order quantity that ensures a 95% in-stock probability, we need to find the demand level at which the probability of demand being less than or equal to that level is 0.95. For a normal distribution, this is the mean plus the standard deviation times the z-score corresponding to 0.95.
The z-score for a probability of 0.95 is approximately 1.645. So, the order quantity is:
Order Quantity = Mean + Z * Standard Deviation
Q =\mu + z \times \sigma =
=300+1.645*50
=382.25
ANSWER: 382
Question 6
Given order quantity Q=350, calculate the expected profit. Round your final answer to the nearest integer. DO NOT round intermediate results.
Expected lost sale
z =(Q-)/\sigma =(350-300)/50=1
WHEN LOOKING AT THE TABLE WE LOOK AT 1 PLEASE CONFIRM??
L(z)=0.0833
Expected lost sale =\sigma \times L(z)=50\times 0.0833=4.165
Expected sales
Expected demand Expected lost sales =300-4.165=295.835
Expected leftover inventory
Order quantity Expected sales =350-295.835=54.165
Expected profit
(Price-cost)\times Expected Sales -(Cost-Salvage value)\times Expected leftover inventory =(2.50-.50)\times 295.835-(0.50-0)\times 54.165
$564.5875
$565. Answer
