The supplier specifies quantity discount percentage and a wholesale price. Then, retailers determine their optimal order quantity in which their profit is maximised. Finally, the supplier determines the production quantity. Moreover, comparing the contracts shows that how the supply chain's performance enhances under certain conditions in risk sharing contract. Furthermore, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the presented models.
