They discover through a study that demand is distributed N (225, 20^2). Each baked good costs $0.25 to buy and sells that day for $2.00. If they don’t sell all the inventory, each unsold baked good is donated at a revenue per item of $0.00. They estimate that a lost sale costs them the lost $1.75 revenue over the $0.25 to get the baked goods.
