Mom and Pop have decided to open a grocery store. Mom and Pop buy tomatoes every day to ensure fresh produce. Each morning any tomatoes that are left over from the previous day are sold to a nearby restaurant that can use the tomatoes in their soups. Mom and Pop can buy tomatoes from their supplier for $3 per lb. The tomatoes are sold to store customers for $5.5 per pound and the restaurant is willing to pay $1 per pound. You can assume that the demand follows a uniform distribution ~ U(15, 35) pounds per day.
Mom and Pop negotiate with the restaurant and get a better price (2$ per pound). How would this affect your order decision?
