Next, assuming both the demand and barter follow the normal distribution, we present a barter example to illustrate and verify the above theoretical analysis. Furthermore, we also conduct sensitivity analysis to examine the demand uncertainty and barter uncertainty on the newsvendor’s decisions and profit. Sup- pose that the customer demand follows a normal distribution, i.e., x ~ N(ux, σx), successful barter probability w also follows a normal distribution with mean uw and standard deviation σw. And we set uw = 1 and σw ∈ [0.01, 0.5]. Besides, r ∈ [0.05, 0.15], σx ∈ [30,60], ux = 200, p = 50, c =∗ 20, s = 10, v = 15, Q0 = 50. Inventory increase is measured by
