Question:
12. Using the profit model developed in Chapter 8, implement a financial simulation model for a new product proposal and determine a distribution of profits using the discrete distributions below for the unit cost, demand, and fixed costs. Price is fixed at $1,000. Unit costs are unknown and follow the distribution:
Unit Cost Probability
$400 0.20
$600 0.40
$700 0.25
$800 0.15 Demand is also variable and follows the following distribution:
Demand Probability 120 0.25 140 0.50 160 0.25 Fixed costs are estimated to follow the following distribution:
Fixed Costs Probability $45,000 0.20 $50,000 0.50 $55,000 0.30 Experiment with the model to determine the best production quantity to maximize the average profit. Would you conclude that this product is a good investment?
