Question

Procter & Gamble, the maker of Puffs tissues, traditionally sells these tissues for $9.00 per case, where a case contains eight boxes. A retailer’s average weekly demand is 39 cases of a particular Puffs tissue product. Calculate the retailer's annual demand and the number of cases they should order for a year to meet this demand efficiently

Answer 1

To calculate the retailer's annual demand for Puffs tissues, multiply the average weekly demand (39 cases) by the number of weeks in a year (52), resulting in 2028 cases/year. The retailer should order 2028 cases annually to meet this demand.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the retailer's annual demand for Puffs tissues, we need to multiply the average weekly demand by the number of weeks in a year. Since the retailer's average weekly demand is 39 cases, and there are 52 weeks in a year, the calculation for annual demand will be as follows:

Annual Demand = Average Weekly Demand × Number of Weeks in a Year = 39 cases/week × 52 weeks/year = 2028 cases/year.

To meet this demand efficiently, the retailer should order 2028 cases of Puffs tissues for the year.
