ADR purchases wood screws from a local representative. The local rep visits the shop once every 3 weeks (21 days).

Answer: Attached below is the missing data related to your question

answer :  66 boxes

Explanation:

Determine the number of boxes of screws that ADR should order

we can determine the number of boxes by applying the relationship below

Q ( quantity of boxes ) = d ( T + L ) + SS - I   ------ ( 1 )

where: d = 2 ( average daily demand )

           T = 21 ( frequency of visit by local rep )

           L = 4 ( lead time )

           SS = 20  , I = 4

back to equation 1

Q = 2 ( 21 + 4 ) + 20 - 4

   = 2 ( 25 ) + 16

   = 50 + 16 =  66 boxes
