A newsvendor orders the quantity that maximizes expected profit for two products, X and Y. The critical ratio for both products is 0.8. The demand forecast for both products is 9,000 units and both are normally distributed. Product X has more uncertain demand in the sense that it has the larger standard deviation. Of which of the two products does the newsvendor order more

A. Product A, because it has less certain demand.
B. Product B, because it has more certain demand.
C. The order quantities are the same because they have the same critical ratio.
D. More information is needed to determine which has the higher order quantity.

A. Product A, because it has less certain demand.

Explanation:

According to the statement, the product X (A) is the one with the highest proportion of standard deviation, that is, it has a more uncertain demand. Taking into account this condition, it is expected that the number of optimal products will be greater because it has an average and critical relationship. For this reason, it is expected that the news seller will lean towards the first product, since it will generate higher income as explained at the beginning.
