Everything has been ordered except the shrimp, which was missing from the last purchase order. It will have to be a last-minute rush order, and only one supplier can get it to you in time. The purchase order will be for frozen raw, U 16-20, shrimp peeled, de-veined, tail-on, in 5-pound boxes (according to your spec for the product). You’ve dealt with this supplier before, and made a note to yourself on the jumbo shrimp spec that this vendor’s product averages 19 to 20 shrimp per pound and has a 96% yield. Catering policy dictates that a 10% buffer be provided for unexpected guests, and the catering menu states that 5 shrimp are to be served per person. If you have 4 pounds of good jumbo shrimp on hand, how much will you order for the wedding? Will there be any leftover product?
