How many loaves of sourdough bread bakery should produce


Response to the following problem:

Among the items sold at Hal's Bakery are loaves of sourdough bread. The daily number of customers who arrive at Hal's approximately follows a normal distribution with a mean of 240 and a standard deviation of 15.49. There is a .25 probability that a customer wishes to buy one loaf of sourdough bread, a .05 probability that a customer wishes to buy two loaves, and a .70 probability that a customer does not purchase the bread. The bread is baked once a day at 6 A.M. and sold beginning at 9 A.M. Each loaf of bread costs $.60 to produce and sells for $2.40. Unsold loaves of bread are donated to a soup kitchen and net the store a tax credit of $.20. If the store runs out of loaves of sourdough bread, it estimates that it suffers a goodwill loss of $3.00 for each loaf demanded when it is out of stock.
