CWD Electronics sells computers, which it orders from the USA. Because of shipping and handling costs, each order must be for 12 units. Because of the time it takes to receive an order, the company places an order every time the present stock drops to 6 units. It costs $120 to place an order. It costs the company $75 in lost sales when a customer asks for a computer and the warehouse is out of stock. It costs $5 to keep each computer stored in the warehouse. If a customer cannot purchase a computer when it is requested, the customer will not wait until one comes in but will go to a competitor. The demand for computers and the time required to receive an order once it is placed (lead time) has the following probability distribution: Demand/ Lead time (weeks) Probability week Probability 2 0.20 0 0.10 3 0.65 1 0.45 4 0.15 2 0.30 3 0.15 The company has 10 computers in stock.
