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 standard deviation of 1,750.
. SO is considering an alternative under which it will ship
surplus jackets at the end of the season for sale in the Southern
Hemisphere. Inclusive of all costs, SO expects the salvage value to
increase to $75 under this option. How will this change affect the
quantity ordered, expected profits, and expected overstock to be
sent to the Southern Hemisphere? Do you recommend this option?
