A sample inventory model, using JavaScript, for carrying out the calculations.

The Newspaper Seller's Problem. The paper seller buys the papers for $ each and sells them for $ each. Newspaper not sold at the end of the day are sold as scrap for $ each. Newspaper can be purchased in bundles of 10. Thus, the paper seller can buy 50, 60, and so on. There are three types of newsdays, "good," "fair," and "poor," with probabilities of , , and . The distribution of papers demanded on each of these days is shown below:

	Demand Probability Distribution
Demand	Good	Fair	Poor

The problem is to determine the optimal number of papers the newspaper seller should purchase M^*. To accomplished this, inventory theory will be used. Also, the optimal expected relevant total cost E(C^*_T)¹ will be calculated.

M^*	E(C^*_T)

The profits are given by the following relationship:

Profit

revenue
from sales

cost of
of newspapers

salvage from sale
of scrap papers
