Specialty Toys, Inc. sells a variety of new and innovative children’s toys. Management learned that the pre-holiday season is the best time to introduce a new toy, because many families use this time to look for new ideas for December holiday gifts.
When Specialty discovers a new toy with good market potential, it chooses an October market entry date. In order to get toys into its stores by October,
Specialty places one time orders with its manufacturers in June or July of each year. Demand for children’s toys can be highly volatile. If a new toy catches on, a sense of shortage in the marketplace often increases the demand to high levels and large profits can be realized. However, new toys can also flop, leaving Specialty stuck with high levels of inventory that must be sold at reduced prices.
The most important question the company faces is deciding how many units of a new toy should be purchased to meet anticipated sales demand. If too few are purchased, sales will be lost; if too many are purchased, profits will be reduced because of low prices realized in clearance sales.
For the coming season, Specialty plans to introduce a new product called Weather Teddy. This variation of a talking teddy bear is made by a company in Taiwan.
When a child presses Teddy’s hand, the bear begins to talk. A built-in barometer selects one of five responses that predict the weather conditions.
The responses range from “It looks to be a very nice day! Have fun” to “I think it may rain today. Don’t forget your umbrella.” Tests with the product show that, even though it is not a perfect weather predictor, its predictions are surprisingly good.
Several of Specialty’s managers claimed Teddy gave predictions of the weather that were as good as those of many local television weather forecasters. As with other products, Specialty faces the decision of how many Weather Teddy units to order for the coming holiday season. Members of the management team suggested order quantities of 15,000, 18,000, 24,000, or 28,000 units.
The wide range of order quantities suggested indicates considerable disagreement concerning the market potential.
The product management team asks you for an analysis of the stockout probabilities for various order quantities, an estimate of the profit potential, and help with making an order quantity recommendation.
Specialty expects to sell Weather Teddy for $24 based on a cost of $16 per unit. If inventory remains after the holiday season, Specialty will sell all surplus inventory for $5 per unit.
After reviewing the sales history of similar products, Specialty’s senior sales forecaster predicted an expected demand of 20,000 units with a .95 probability that demand would be between 10,000 units and 30,000 units.
Prepare a managerial report that addresses the following issues and recommends an order quantity for the Weather Teddy product.
1. Use the sales forecaster’s prediction to describe a normal probability distribution that can be used to approximate the demand distribution. Sketch the distribution and show its mean and standard deviation.
2. Compute the probability of a stockout for the order quantities suggested by members of the management team.
3. Compute the projected profit for the order quantities suggested by the management team under three scenarios: worst case in which sales 5 10,000 units, most likely case in which sales 5 20,000 units, and best case in which sales 5 30,000 units.
4. One of Specialty’s managers felt that the profit potential was so great that the order quantity should have a 70% chance of meeting demand and only a 30% chance of any stockouts. What quantity would be ordered under this policy, and what is the projected profit under the three sales scenarios?
5. Provide your own recommendation for an order quantity and note the associated profit projections. Provide a rationale for your recommendation.
Walker, the CEO of Memphis Mini Golf and Go Carts (MMGGC), wanted to sell the business to Go Carts, Golf & Games. To provide a basis for the transaction, Walker retained Blanchard, an accountant, to conduct an audit of MMGGC. Blanchard was aware that Go Carts, Golf & Games would likely use the audit report in consideration of the purchase of the business from MMGGC. Blanchard’s audit report showed that MMGGC’s business was profitable. William, Go Cart’s president, relied on this report in agreeing to purchase the business of MMGGC and in agreeing to the terms of the purchase. Sometime later, it was discovered that the accountant made a number of mistakes and that the business that was sold was actually insolvent. William and Go Carts sued Walker and Blanchard for damages. The suit claimed that the accountant had negligently misrepresented the facts.

(1) As a police officer, describe how important is it to support community problem-solving and broken windows policing by applying problem-solving techniques?
Police officers wear a multitude of hats in their occupation. They are expected to settle differences lawfully as an outside, unbiased source while fostering and enforcing law and order. Problem solving is paramount in many situations concerning law enforcement. It is critical when incorporating broken windows policing to maintain law and order and prevent certain areas to falling into social decay. Broken window theory is closely related to community policing in that, police will make routine, preventative law enforcement actions a priority in certain areas or certain aspects within a community. The belief within this theory is that if certain facets of crime are left unchecked, the community or area of concern will further decline causing more crime to continue. An example would be vandalism, if left unchecked, could spark further or more serious crimes. Vandalism by its nature is a lower crime however views of continual negative atmosphere breeds a look of negligence related to furthering worse crimes. According to Jenkins, M. J. (2016) police should measure their successes on the effectiveness of their problems solved and less on response times. Jenkins, M. J. (2016) also argues that police problem solving enhances community involvement and broken windows theory assists in maintaining public trust and protection through continued policing of suspect areas within communities. It boils down to successful communities survive by the constant and routine patrolling shown to safeguard the inhabitants of that community. Police utilize problem solving skill not only to instill trust but also bolster relations within that community. Sometimes knowing police can handle simple problems with local problem solving skills on the lowest levels shows simple fixes do not require arrest, lawyers, or judges.
