If the store wants the probability of stocking out to be no more than 5%, and demand each day is independent of the day before, what reorder point should be set?

Daily demand for packages of five videotapes at a warehouse store is found to be normally distributed with mean 50 and standard deviation 5. When the store orders more tapes, the ordering cost is $42 and the orders take four days to arrive. Each pack of tapes costs $7.20, and there is a 24% annual holding cost for inventory. Assume the store is open 360 days a year.


DDLT is N(200,10)
r = 200 + 1.645(10) = 216.45
