The optimal reorder point of Sweet Cream Dairy is 27.71 or 28 (rounded off)  and Safety stock is 15. 91  or 16 gallons (rounded off)

Explanation:

the reorder point is to multiply the average daily usage rate for an inventory item by the lead time in days to replenish it.

The safety stock formula with standard deviation is more complicated but also more accurate.

Safety stock = desired service level × standard deviation of lead time × demand average

Safety stock = ( 93÷100) ×  2.9 × 5.9 =  15. 91  or 16 gallons (rounded off)  

Safety stock = ( 93÷100) ×  2.9 × 5.9 =  15. 91  or 16 gallons (rounded off)

Reorder Point = (Average Daily Usage x Average Lead Time in Days) + Safety Stock  

= (5.9 x 2) + 15. 91 = 11.8 + 15.91 = 27.71 or 28 (rounded off)

= (5.9 x 2) + 15. 91 = 11.8 + 15.91 = 27.71 or 28 (rounded off)

The total annual cash inflow will be the sum of the savings in operating costs and the incremental contribution from the sale of the bagels.

Annual contribution from Bagel = 1,500×$0.90=1350

Operating cost savings = 3,650

Total annual cash inflow = 1,350 + 3,650 =5,000
