Question: where P ( Demand < = Q * ) is the probability that demand is less than or equal to the recommended order quantity, Q

where P(Demand <= Q*) is the probability that demand is less than or equal to the recommended order quantity, Q*. The term cu is the cost per unit of underestimating demand (and losing sales because of going out of stock) and co is the cost per unit of overestimating demand (having unsold inventory). So,
cu = $24- $16= $8 lost per unit if Weather Teddy runs out of stock and
cu = $16- $5= $11 lost per unit if left-over inventory must be sold at the clearance price.
