1. Construct a spreadsheet model to analyze this situation. Use an order quantity of 70,000 and a demand of 62,000 for your base case values. Be sure to explain what assumptions you made while constructing your model
Each year in May, P.A.M. Cosmetics (Professional Artistry Makeup) launches a selection of limited edition lipsticks. To ensure these lipsticks are in stock in time for the launch, orders must be placed with manufacturers in November. Because these lipsticks are limited edition and require 6 months of lead-time, P.A.M. Cosmetics will not reorder more units if they completely sell out. It costs P.A.M. Cosmetics $5.30 to produce each lipstick, and the selling price is $16. In the event that there are leftover units after the launch period (1 month), there will be a price markdown of 40 percent. In the past, demand for these yearly limited edition lipsticks has been 58,000 units. However, P.A.M. Cosmetics has initiated several social media campaigns to create more hype for new products.
