Question $3/30$

A supply chain experiences the bullwhip effect, where the standard deviation of orders placed

by the retailer is $1\mathrm{.}5$ times the standard deviation of actual consumer demand. If the retaller's

demand has a standard deviation of $200$ units, what is the standard deviation of the orders the

manufacturer receives, assuming the bullwhip amplification factor continues at each stage

$($wholesaler and distributor$)$ with a factor of $1\mathrm{.}2$ at each step?

$300$ units

$432$ units

$500$ units

$360$ units

None of the above
