Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The demand for number 6 screws is fairly constant and  brother's hardware store sells 500 of these screws each day.

So;

The demand for number 6 screws =  500 screws /day

It takes approximately 8 working days for an order of number 6 screws to arrive once the order has been placed.

Delivery time-frame  = 8 days

Lila believes that she can avoid stockouts completely if she only orders the number 6 screws at the correct time.

i.e Lila would want to have 8 days (delivery time-frame) × 500 screws /day

= 4000 screws

This implies that these 4000 screws will only last for 6 days.

Thus Lila ROP ( reorder point) will be to reorder for another set of  screw the day she receives the current shipment, this implies that after 8 days she would have sold the present 4000 screws and she will be expecting a new re-stock.

In this exercise, we have to use our knowledge of finance to calculate the number that should be replenished in the stock, in this way:

This implies that these 4000 screws will only last for 6 days.

The exercise statement states that:

  • 6 screws is fairly constant and  brother's hardware store sells 500 of these screws each day.

With this information we can also say that:

  • It takes approximately 8 working days for an order of number 6 screws to arrive once the order has been placed.

Then, performing the calculation, we find:

[tex] 8 * 500 = 4000 screws[/tex]
