Slaq Computer Company manufactures notebook computers. The economic lifetime of a particular model is only four to six months, w

hich means that Slaq has very little time to make adjustments in production capacity and supplier contracts over the production run. For a soon-to-be-introduced notebook, Slaq must negotiate a contract with a supplier of motherboards. Because supplier capacity is tight, this contract will specify the number of motherboards in advance of the start of the production run. At the time of contract negotiation, Slaq has forecasted that demand for the new notebook is normally distributed with a mean (�) of 10,000 units and a standard deviation (�) of 2,500 units. The net profit from a notebook sale is $500 (note that this includes the cost of the motherboard, as well as all other material; production, and shipping costs). (Hint: �! = $500) Motherboards cost $200 and have no salvage value (i.e., if they are not used for this particular model of notebook, they will have to be written off). (Hint: �" = $200) Use the news vendor model to compute a purchase quantity of motherboards that balances the cost of lost sales and the cost of excess material.

Answer:

11414.87205 units.

Explanation:

We have Underage cost cs to be $500

We have Overage cost Co to be $200

To get Critical fractile, we do this computation:

Cs/(Cs+Co)

500/(500+200)

500/700

0.714285714

Now the z score for this value,

normsinv(0.714285714)

= 0.565948821

To get what the question requires: mean+z-score*standard deviation

= 10000+(0.565948821*2500)

= 11414.87205 units

<u>please </u><u>note:</u><u> </u><u>I solved this without rounding the values.</u>

<u>We will have 10000+(0.57*2500)=11425 units</u><u> </u><u>if</u><u> </u><u>rounded</u>
