dc.description.abstract	We present a new ordering rule for the newsboy problem where besides mean and variance of demand, the probability that the demand assuming that value zero is also known. We derive a lowerbound for the expected profit over the set of distributions with given parameters and construct a distribution which achieves the bound. We apply our analysis to an M/G/1 queue with server vacations, which is the base model for many production-inventory systems.	-
