Morning Star, a seller has 5 stores. Consider a new product A to be released by morning star. Demand for A at each store is independent. It is also distributed normally. The mean is 1000 units and standard deviation is 200 units. The stores have operated independently and replenishment decisions are made by the store managers. Each product costs $80 and is priced to sell at $200. Morning Star estimates that whatever inventory that is leftover can be cleared for an average price of $35 in a sale afterwards.

The Company will be selling the product A for $195 online. In addition, there will be an average of $2.5 shipping cost paid by Product A for the online orders. Now a wholesaler has agreed to buy all the end of season leftover inventory of Product A for the same price as part (a) ($35 per unit. No shipping or any other costs are involved in this.
