Suppose the publisher continues to charge $24 per book and Dan still incurs a $0.8 cost to ship each book back to the Sublisher. What price should the publisher pay Dan for returned books to maximize the supply chain's profit (the sum of the publistier's profit and Dan's profit)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Dan McClure is trying to decide on how many copies of a book to purchase at the start of the upcoming selling season for his bookstore. The book retalls at $32. The publisher sells the book to Dan for $24. Dan will dispose of all of the unsold coples of the book at 60 percent off the retall price, at the end of the season. Dan estimates that demand for this book during the season is normal with a mean of 115 and a standard deviation of 66 . a. How many books should Dan order to maximize his expected profit? (Use the Round-up Rule in conjunction with the Standard Normal Distribution Function Table. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
