Demand for jelly doughnuts on Saturdays at Don’s Doughnut Shoppe is shown in the following table. If labor, materials, and overhead are estimated to be $ 3.20 per dozen, doughnuts are sold for $ 4.80 per dozen, and left over doughnuts at the end of each day are sold the next day at half price,
(a) Determine the shortage and excess costs
(b) Determine the service level
(c) Calculate the stockout risk factor
(d) list the cumulative tables for demand

ANS:
(a) Ce = Cost per unit- Salvage value per unit =$ 3.20-2.40= $ 0.80 per dozen
Cs = Revenue per unit-Cost per unit =$ 4.80-$ 3.20=$ 1.60 per dozen
(b) Service level = Cs/(Cs+Ce) = 1.60/(1.60+0.80)=0.67 (c) Stockout risk = 1.00 – 0.67 = 0.33 (d)

(e) Since the service level falls between the cumulative probabilities of 0.63 (24) and 0.73 (25), this means that the company should stock 25 dozen doughnuts because 0.67 is closer to
