    Answer: units = 6198

    Step-by-step explanation:

    expected consumer demand is 5000, the units that must be planned given shrinkage percentage levels in different stages of the supply chain we have to use the trial and error method.

    lets try 6200 units

    6200 x 95% = 5890, 5890 x 96% = 5654.4, 5654.40 x 97% = 5484.768, 5484.768 x 96% = 5265.37728, 56265 x 95% = 5002.108416 ≈ 5002

    6198 units

    (6198 x 95% = 5888.10) (5888.10 x 96% = 5652.576) (5652.576 x 97% = 5482.99872) (5482.99872 x 96% = 5263.6787712) (5263.6787712 x 95% = 5000.4948326) ≈ 5000

    using the same procedure for 6197 units the answer will be 4999.688041

    units that should be produced to cover the demand of 5000 = 6198
