Question

"A buyer must place an order for mayonnaise to be delivered in five days. Par stock is eight cases. Two cases are on hand, and one case will be used during the lead time. How many cases should the buyer order?"

Answer 1

C) 7

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the periodic automatic replenishment (PAR), the buyer needs to have 8 cases of mayonnaise after placing the purchase order. They currently have 2 cases and will consume one case until the purchase order is placed and the merchandise is delivered.

purchase order ⇒ x + (2 - 1) = 8

x + 1 = 8

x = 7
