    D) $66,325

    Explanation:

    the total costs associated with a stockout are:

    probability of a back order 50% x cost of a back order $150 = $75 probability of a lost consumer 25% x cost of a lost consumer $250,000 = $62,500 lost gross margin = probability of a lost consumer 25% x $1,500 x 50 units x 20% = $3,750

    total costs of a stockout = $75 + $62,500 + $3,750 = $66,325
