Answer:

85 units

Explanation:

Annual demand = 3,400 units

Using 40 weeks per year & 4 days per week, the no of days per year = 160 days (40*4)

Average daily demand (d) = Annual demand / Number of days per year

Average daily demand (d) = 3400/160

Average daily demand (d) = 21.25 units

Lead time (L) = 4 days

Reorder point = Average daily demand (d) * Lead time (L)

Reorder point = 21.25 * 4

Reorder point = 85 units
