93 units should be ordered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Standard deviation = 4

Average = 30 units

Number of weeks in order interval = 3

Desired service level = 97.5%

Number of units on hand = n = 43

So, the expected value would be

$E[x]=30\times (3+1)+1.96\times 4\sqrt{3+1}-43\\\\E[x]=30\times 4+1.96\times 4\times 2-43\\\\E[x]=120+15.68-43\\\\E[x]=92.68\approx 93$

Hence, 93 units should be ordered.
