Answer:

170

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming no safety stock is used, the reorder point (ROP) can be given by:

ROP = lead time x average daily demand.

The lead time is 5 days.

Average daily demand (ADD) is given by:


ADD = (10,200)/(300) \\ADD = 34

Therefore, the reorder point is:


ROP = 34*5\\ROP = 170

This means that Duncan's Stationery Shop should not let inventory fall under 170 binders in order to meet their average daily demand.
