As a general rule the CEO of Bronco department store does not approve of a stock out probability of more than 2%. The annual interest rate is 10%. The store is up and working 12 months a year and 30 days a month. The store orders specific T-shirts for men and women but both types come in one size only. The daily demand of men's T-shirts is normally distributed with a mean of 150 and standard deviation of 5. The daily demand for women's T-shirts is also normally distributed but with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 10. Every time that you place an order the supplier will set up a new batch of T-shirts to be printed out and will send a truck with the T-shirts to your store. The carrier costs you $50 and it will take 6 days for you to receive the order. T-shirts will not take up much space so that the physical holding cost is negligible. However, each T-shirts costs the department store $10 to purchase. The store uses the continuous review system for T-shirts.
