Betty bakes and sells bagels all year round. Betty has to plan and manage inventories of paper take-out bags with her logo printed on them to satisfy customer demand. Daily demand for take-out bags is normally distributed with a mean of 90 bags and a standard deviation of 30 bags. Betty’s printer charges her $10 per order for print setup independent of order size. Bags are printed at 5 cents ($0.05) each bag. It takes 4 days for an order to be printed and delivered. Betty has a storage room big enough to hold all reasonable quantities of bags; its operating expenses may be regarded as fixed. The only holding cost is the opportunity cost of capital, which is estimated to be 25% per year. Assume 360 days per year. (Use the H= i * C formula to compute the annual holding cost).
