Daily demand for a certain product is normally distributed with a mean of 201 and a standard deviation of 16. The supplier is reliable and maintains a constant lead time of 6 days. The cost of placing an order is $28 and the cost of holding inventory is $0.50 per unit per year. There are no stock-out costs, and unfilled orders are filled as soon as the order arrives.
