Zynex Co manufactures a range of electronic devices, which it sells to online stores
and retail outlets. It has a risk-seeking attitude and its objective is to maximise profit.
Six months ago it released a new version of its smartphone, the ZV. Zynex Co's main
smartphone competitor has announced that it will launch a new version of its
smartphone in one month's time and Zynex Co is concerned about the effect of the
launch of this rival product on future demand for the ZV.
For each of the previous ten smartphones launched by its competitors, Zynex Co's
marketing team has analysed the impact on Zynex Co's sales performance. This
data was retained specifically for the purpose of forecasting future demand of Zynex
Co's smartphones and is stored in the company's financial database. Based on this

changes in demand, Zynex Co has determined four production volumes. The
