Sport Obermeyer (SO) is a manufacturer of ski apparel. A ski
jacket is sourced at a cost of $80 and sold for $125. One order is
placed at the beginning of the season. Currently, SO disposes of
any unsold jackets at the end of the season to outlet stores at
$70. It costs $10 to hold a jacket in inventory for the entire
season and then ship it to an outlet store. Demand for ski jackets
has been forecast to be normally distributed, with a mean of 4,000
and a standard deviation of 1,750.
If outlet stores are only willing to pay $60 at the end of the
season, what two variables can SO change to make up lost revenue?
Which would you recommend and why?
