Solution

To calculate the target inventory level in a periodic review system, you need to consider both the demand during the lead time and review period, as well as the safety stock.

Here's how you do it:

  1. Calculate the demand during the lead time: The lead time is 2 weeks and the average demand per week is 1000 units. So, the demand during the lead time is 2 weeks * 1000 units/week = 2000 units.

  2. Calculate the demand during the review period: The review period is 7 weeks and the average demand per week is 1000 units. So, the demand during the review period is 7 weeks * 1000 units/week = 7000 units.

  3. Add the demand during the lead time, the demand during the review period, and the safety stock to get the target inventory level: 2000 units (lead time demand) + 7000 units (review period demand) + 300 units (safety stock) = 9300 units.

So, the target inventory level should be 9300 units. Therefore, the correct answer is c. 9300.
