Answer:
Reorder point = (weekly demand * lead time) + (Z * standard deviation * √lead time) = (294 * 10) + (2.326 * 90 * √10) = 2,940 + 661.99 = 3,602 units
Old safety stock = Z * standard deviation * √lead time = 662 units
new safety stock = 331
331 = Z * 90 * √10
Z = 331 / 284.60 = 1.163
Using Normal distribution function, the new confidence interval is 87.76%
Answer:
A) an increase in the price of other kinds of candy
Explanation:
If the price of substitute products (other types of candy) increases, then the suppliers of chewing gum can increase their price without the quantity demanded decreasing. If the decrease in the price of chewing gum is smaller than the increase in the price of substitute products, the quantity demanded will increase.
If there was a price increase of the main ingredients used to produce chewing gum, then the supply curve would shift to the left (option B is wrong).
If the workers signed an agreement that lowered their wages, then the supply curve would shift to the right (option C is wrong).
A decrease in the number of young people in the market would decrease the quantity demanded for chewing gum, which in turn would decrease the equilibrium price (option D is wrong).
A decrease in income would also decrease the quantity demanded, which would in turn decrease the equilibrium price (option E is wrong).
