Answer #1

Z value of 95% of service level = NORMSINV ( 0.95) = 1.6448

The formula for reorder point

= Daily demand x Lead time ( days) + Z value x standard deviation x square root ( lead time )

= 500 x 9 + 1.6448 x 50 x square root ( 9)

= 4500 + 1.6448 x 50 x 3

= 4500 + 246.72

= 4746.72 ( 4747 rounded to nearest whole number )

ANSWER : 4747
