Answer:

The optimal order quantity is 316 pounds

Explanation:

In order to calculate What daily order quantity is optimal, we have to calculate first The cost of underestimating the demand Cu and cost of overestimating demand Co

Cu = ($0.60 - $0.50)*4 = $0.40

Co = $1 - $0.80 = $0.20

Next we have to calculate the Service Level = Cu / (Cu + Co)

= 0.40 / (0.40 + 0.20)

= 0.40/0.60

= 0.6667

So, Z Value at above service level = 0.430727

Therefore, in order to calculate the Optimal Order quantity, we would have to use the following formula

Optimal Order quantity= Mean + Z Value × Std Deviation

= 301 + 37 * 0.430727

= 301 + 15.36899

= 316 pounds
