To ensure a full line of outdoor clothing and accessories, the marketing department at Teddy Bower insists that they also sell waterproof hunting boots. Unfortunately, Teddy Bower does not have expertise in manufacturing those kinds of boots. Hence, Teddy Bower contacted several Taiwanese suppliers to request quotes. Due to competition, Teddy Bower knows that it cannot sell these boots for more than $54. However, $49 per boot was the best quote from the suppliers. In addition, Teddy Bower anticipates excess inventory will need to be sold off at a 50% discount at the end of the season. Given the $54 price, Teddy Bower's demand forecast is 400 boots, with a standard deviation of 300.

  1. If Teddy Bower decides to include these boots in its assortment, how many boots should Teddy Bower order from the supplier? Use Table 13.4
  2. Suppose Teddy Bower orders 380 boots. What is Teddy Bower's expected profit (round to the nearest integer)? Use Table 13.4.
  3. The marketing department insists that their in-stock probability be at least 98%. Given this mandate, how many boots do they need to order? Use Table 13.4.
