questions 1 and 2. optimal order quantity

You are a newsvendor selling Bear Times every morning. One copy of Bear Times is sold for $1.00 and it costs you $0.25 to purchase one copy from the printer. At the end of each day, any leftover copies are worthless and they go to the recycle bin. Daily demand is normally distributed with a mean of 250 papers and a standard deviation of 50 papers. What is your optimal order quantity for the next day? Question 2: Easter is coming soon and your boss at the local Zippy Stop-n-Shop is concerned about ordering inflatable Easter bunnies. She does not want to stock too many or too few. From the past five year's sales history, you know that Zippy Stop-n-Shop's average demand for inflatable Easter bunnies is 235 with a standard deviation of 18.71. Zippy Stop-n-Shop purchases inflatable Easter bunnies for $10 and sells them for $22. If Zippy Stop-n-Shop is not able to sell all inflatable Easter bunnies during the Easter season, then the bunnies are given to a local charity. Your boss is totally overwhelmed with this task, and asks you to help her determine how many inflatable Easter bunnies Zippy Stop-n-Shop should order this year
