-What is the value of Co

-What is the value of Cu

Answer:

- the value of the cost overage Co is $ 0.3

- the value of the cost shortage Cu is $ 0.40

Explanation:

Given that;

Revenue per unit R = $ 1.00

Cost per Unit C = $ 0.60

Salvage value per unit S = $ 0.30

Mean Demand μ = 193

Standard Deviation of demand σ = 41

-To get the value of our cost overage Co;

we simply say

Co = Cost per Unit C - Salvage value per unit S

Co = 0.6 - 0.30 = 0.30

therefore the value of the cost overage Co is $ 0.30

- To find the value of Cost Shortage Cu;

Cu = Revenue per unit R - Cost per Unit C

Cu = 1.00 - 0.60 = 0.40

therefore the value of the cost shortage Cu is $ 0.40
