The Life coffee shop encounters normally distributed weekly demand with an average of 300 paper cups and a standard deviation of 75 cups per week. Each cup costs $10. Ordering costs are $15 per order (regardless of the number of cups ordered), and the order arrives one week after the coffee shop places it with the cup supplier. The Life coffee shop estimates that holding costs are 15% per dollar per year. Due to the importance of cups to its business to serve “to-go” orders, the cafe wants no more than a 1% chance of a stock-out during the one-week lead time for cup replenishment. The store continually reviews the inventory level and works 52 weeks a year. Answer the following questions (in terms of cups), and if your answer has decimals, round it to the nearest whole number. (a) What is the optimal order quantity for each store? [BLANK-1] cups (b) What is the reorder point for each store? [BLANK-2] cups (c) What is the safety stock for each store? [BLANK-3] cups
