textIt appears that the image contains a mathematical problem related to inventory management and profit maximization. Here's a summary of the extracted information:

• The demand for crates of mangoes and the associated number of crates demanded are given.
• The cost to buy each crate is £250.
• If the crate is sold on the same day, the selling price is £400.
• If the crate is not sold, the salvage value (value of stale fruits) is £150.
• The task is to determine how many crates should be ordered daily to maximize profits, as well as find the Expected Value of Perfect Information (EVPI).

To solve this, we will likely need to use principles from operations research, such as expected profit calculations, demand forecasting, and possibly linear programming for optimization.

Would you like me to walk you through the solution step by step? Let me know if you need more details on any part of the problem.

Here are a few related questions you might find interesting:

1. How do we calculate the expected value for each demand scenario?
2. What is the formula for maximizing profit in an inventory model?
3. How do we calculate the Expected Value of Perfect Information (EVPI)?
4. What role does salvage value play in the optimal ordering decision?
5. What are the key assumptions in inventory management models like this?

Tip: In inventory problems like this, maximizing profit often involves balancing the cost of overordering (leading to unsold crates) and underordering (leading to lost sales).
