Abstract: We analyze the price-sensitive newsvendor problem with non-negative linear additive demand. We show that the problem always has an optimal solution and identify random demand distributions for which a unique optimal solution can be computed by showing that, for those distributions, the expected profit is a quasiconcave function of the retail price.
