that order is long and uncertain. This time gap is called “lead time.” From past experience‚ the materials manager notes that the company’s demand for glue during the uncertain lead time is normally distributed with a mean of 187.6 gallons and a standard deviation of 12.4 gallons. The company follows a policy of placing an order when the glue stock falls to a predetermined value called the “reorder point.” Note that if the reorder point is x gallons and the demand during lead time exceeds x gallons

13. Variance and Standard Deviation (expected). Using the data from problem 13‚ calculate the variance and standard deviation of the three investments‚ stock‚ corporate bond‚ and government bond. If the estimates for both the probabilities of the economy and the returns in each state of the economy are correct‚ which investment would you choose considering both risk and return? Why? ANSWER Variance of Stock = 0.10 x (0.25 – 0.033)2 + 0.15 x (0.12 – 0.033)2 + 0.50 x (0.04 – 0.033)2 + 0
