Question

The manager of a bakery orders three "cake-to-go" wedding cakes every Saturday to accommodate last-minute purchases. Demand for the cakes can be described by a Poisson distribution that has a mean of 2. The cakes cost $10 each to prepare, and they sell for $26 each. Any cakes that haven't been sold by the end of the day are sold for half price the next day. Usually, half of those are sold and the rest are tossed. What stocking level would be appropriate?
