The mustard costs $10 a jar and requires a 2-month lead time for replenishment of stock. The replenishment time is almost constant. Harvey uses a 20% annual interest rate to compute holding costs. Bookkeeping expenses for placing an order amount to about $50. During the 2-month supply time, Harvey estimates that he sells an average of 100 jars but there is substantial variation. He estimates the standard deviation of demand for each 2-month period is 25. Assume that demand is described by a normal distribution. (3 + 3 + 4 + 8 + 12 + 20 = 50 points) a) What is the optimal order quantity? b) What will be the average

Using the formula in the spreadsheet, Q*=NORM.INV(.2,600,100)=515.837, gives the optimal stocking quantity of 516.…
