Answer 48: Option (b) 12000 units.
Reorder Point = (Average daily usage rate x Lead time) + Safety stock
Hence, Reorder Point = (2000 units per day x 6 days) + 0 = 12000 units
Answer 49: Option (a) 1200 units.
Safety stock = (Maximum daily usage * Maximum lead time in days) – (Average daily usage * Average lead time in days).
=(2200*6 days) - (2000*6 days) = 1200 units
Answer 50: Option (c) 6000 units.
Safety stock = (2000 units x 9 days) - (2000 units x 6 days) = 6000 units
