The following three questions are based on the same content.

Weekly demand for cell phones at a retailer is normally distributed with a mean of 150 phones and a standard deviation of 75. The retailer replenishes inventory by ordering from a distributor, with a lead time of two weeks. Currently, the store continuously monitors the inventory of phones, and achieves an in-stock probability of 95%.

What is the amount of safety stock for phones (no decimals)? Use Table 13.4

If the reorder point was set to 400 cell phones, the in-stock probability would be at least how much (as a numerical value with 4 decimals)? Use Table 13.4

If the fixed ordering cost from the supplier is $100, and the weekly holding cost per phone is valued at $1.50. What should be the optimal order quantity?
