A supermarket uses a periodic review system to manage inventory of gallons of drinking water. Average demand is 152 gallons of water per day with standard deviation of 33 gallons per day. It costs $57 to order water from the supplier, and orders are delivered after 4 days. The holding cost for a gallon of water is $0.11 per year. The supermarket is open 360 days per year. If the supermarket aims for a 94.5% service level for gallons of drinking water (z = 1.6), what value should be used for T, the target inventory position at the time of ordering? The target inventory position is T= gallons.

The target inventory position is T= 713.6 gallons.

Explanation:

Given:

Average demand =per day = D = 152 Gallons

Standard deviation of demand = σ = 33 Gallons per day

Lead time for delivery = L = 4 days

Z value for 94.5% service level = 1.6

The target inventory position  = (Average demand x Lead time) + Safety stock

= (D × L) + (Z× σ × )

= (152 × 4) + (1.6 × 33 × )

= (152 × 4) + (1.6 × 33 × 2)

= 608 + 105.6

= 713.6

explanation:

the correct answer option is b. a single paragraph.

explanation:

when you are thinking about paragraph​ topics, you should always choose a subject that can be adequately addressed in a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a piece of writing consisting of a few sentences that deal with a single theme. it has only a single idea that the paragraph revolves around and talks about.

so a paragraph topic must be chosen wisely where a single idea can be communicated in a single paragraph.
