The Breaking Bad Baking Co. bakes artisan-style bread for Publix Grocery Stores. The Breaking Bad Baking Co. bakes each loaf of bread fresh that day; each loaf costs the company $1.25 in ingredients. They sell the loaves to Publix Grocery Stores for $2.00 per loaf of bread. Public then turns around and sells the bread for $6.00 per loaf. Any loaves of bread are then set out as yesterday's baking, and are thus put on clearance for $1.00. Daily demand for the fresh loaves of bread is expected to be normally distributed with a mean of 1980 and a standard deviation of 772.

What is the number of bread loaves to be baked each day that will maximize the SUPPLY CHAINS expected profit?
