Answer:

100 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

mean ( average daily demand ) ( d )  = 27 pounds

standard deviation of demand ( std ) = 8 pounds

Lead time ( taken order takes to arrive ) ( L ) = 5 days

Reorder point = 155 pounds

Determine the service level )

Applying the equation below

Reorder point = d x L + (Z x  std )       note : Z = service factor

155 = 27 * 5 + ( Z  * 8 )

155  = 135 + 8Z

hence Z ( service factor ) = ( 155 - 135 ) / 8 = 2.5

hence the service level is ≈ 100 percent
