ICON Cаndies is а three-stоre retаiler оf freshly bоxed chocolate candies serving the greater NYC metropolitan area. ICON orders its chocolate candies directly from a candy maker in Belgium and has a central refrigerated warehouse where the firm stores individual candies shipped directly to Newark (by air) from the supplier. The lead time from order to receipt is 4 weeks. ICON's order costs are $300 per order and the holding costs are 20% of the cost of an individual candy. Candies are ordered as individual units (pieces), but the order quantity needs to be a multiple of 12 (each box of candy created by ICON has 12 pieces of candy) and the average cost per candy is $.50. A feature of an ICON box of candy is that you never know exactly what's in it. Each box is assembled by randomly selecting 12 candies from a possible assortment of 20 different types of cream-filled chocolate. The grouping only occurs when the boxes are created and "no two boxes are exactly alike" is the product's tagline. Each box of candy is sold for $24.99 and annual demand follows a normal distribution with a mean of 6000 boxes and a standard deviation of 320. To maintain customer goodwill, ICON has set a very high service level objective (see instructions). Consider a year to have 52 weeks or 365 days. What should be ICON Candy's ROP (Reorder Point)? Round up the ROP to the nearest multiple of 12. Note your answer may differ slightly depending on rounding. Pick the answer closest to your answer.

Wаldо sells pre-pаckаged lunches tо cоnstruction workers at a Peachtree Street construction site near the Georgia Tech campus. The pre-packed lunches include hand-crafted sandwiches, chips, and a piece of fruit. In total, product costs for Waldo are $3.50/lunch and he sells the product for $10.00 to his construction worker clientele. Ignore sales tax, Waldo doesn’t pay it anyway. When Waldo runs out of product, he simply takes orders from his remaining customers, walks two blocks to the Varsity Drive-In, and buys the exact amount of product needed to fill the orders. Waldo charges each customer exactly $1.25 more per product than his costs, which will be variable based on the exact food orders placed by the individual workers. Waldo only provides this "courier" service if he runs out of his own product and performs the service to maintain goodwill with his customers. If instead of being under, Waldo is over on product, he sells his unsold lunches to a homeless mission for $1.00/lunch. Waldo believes that his demand follows a normal distribution with a mean of 350 and a standard deviation of 60. Considering this information, what is Waldo's optimum service level?
