QUESTION 29

  1. Click Pix, a large discount camera shop in New York City is open six days a week, 52 weeks a year. The store has recently begun carrying Sonic model PS58 camcorders, which cost $520.00 each and retail for $649.99. Sales average 60 units per week. The cost of placing an order with Sonic is $90, and the lead time is seven working days. Click Pix uses an annual holding cost rate of 18% for the camcorders.

The store estimates that the lead time demand follows a normal distribution with a mean of 70 units and a standard deviation of 15 units. Ideally, the store manager is trying to achieve 90% service level.
