The marketing forecast for sales is 50,000 bottles per month with standard deviation of 8,000 , distributed normally. The pharmaceutical firm sells the drug to the retail chain for $90 per bottle. What is the cost of underage (underestimating demand) by one bottle of the drug? $250 0 $160 $110 $90 The order quantity which will maximize the drug chain expected profit is 62,301 bottles 58,971 bottles ( 37,513 bottles 48,013 bottles 52,868 bottles The pharmaceutical firm has offered the retailer the following option. Return unsold bottles to the pharmaceutical firm. The pharmaceutical will reprocess the pills to make them good again and distribute them free to those who can't afford them.
