home on Sunday mornings. Corin collects $2.25 per paper and pays $1.10 for a paper. The retirement home residents think fondly of Corin and aren't too upset when papers run out. On the other hand, any papers Corin is left with are thrown into the recycling bin. Corin is trying to figure out a systematic ordering policy. When Corin runs out of papers, the sale is lost. Demand is uniformly distributed between 10 and 46 newspapers per day. Calculate the optimal stocking. (round off to the nearest whole number)

26. A small copy center uses five 500-sheet boxes of copy paper a week. Experience suggests that usage can be well approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of five boxes per week and a standard deviation of one-half box per week.

Determine the economic order quantity, assuming a 52-week year. b. If the copy center reorders when the supply on hand is 12 boxes, compute the risk of a stockout. c. If a fixed interval of seven weeks instead of an ROP is used for reordering, what risk does the copy center incur that it will run out of stationery before this order arrives if it orders 36 boxes when the amount on hand is 12 boxes?
