Abstract

For a dynamic joint price and lead-time quotation problem with a fairly general demand function, we show that the policy consisting of a threshold and a reward-maximizing lead-time is optimal. This policy offers some interesting managerial insights. Under this policy, finding the exact optimal quotation can be accomplished by single-variable policy iterations of unimodal value functions.
