The question needs to mention the LEAD-TIME also to be answered correctly

 

SAFETY STOCK= Lead time factor * Service factor * Standard Deviation

SAFETY STOCK= Lead time factor *1.645 *25

 

**Assuming a ONE month lead-time, and as such Lead time factor =1

the safety stock of41 units should provide95% service level
