摘要:
This note studies the optimal dynamic decision-making problem for a retailer in a price-sensitive, multiplicative demand framework. Our model incorporates lost sales, holding cost, fixed and variable procurement costs, as well as salvage value. We characterize the structure of the retailer's (discounted) expected profit-maximizing dynamic inventory policy for both finite and infinite selling horizon problems.
