Abstract
Estimating cost-benefit analysis, calculating the real value of anything before buying it is essential in order to know if this purchase is fetching or not. In the industry of selling newspapers, since demand is determined by various unpredictable features like news quality and types of reader interest, it may be difficult to estimate how many copies you should buy daily. On the other hand, this study addresses the classic Newsvendor Problem by analyzing a single-period inventory management model to find the optimal order quantity that maximizes profit. Simulating different demand scenarios up to 20 days into the future, using financial-based assumptions (e.g.: selling price, buying cost, and salvage value) on order quantities in order to investigate profits. The results show that we can identify the optimal level of order quantity in the cost-benefit analysis and profit analysis under different demand situations. This method reduces both excess waste and missed sales opportunities, making an optimal answer for inventory alignment in sought-after uncertainty-based industries. The insights of this analysis are not just relevant to newspaper sales but also to all comparable industries where accurate inventory management becomes challenging.
