Suppose that a small candy store makes Valentine's Day gift boxes that cost $14.00 and sell for $21.00. In the past, at least 40 boxes have been sold by Valentine's Day, but theactual amount is uncertain, and the owner has often run short or made too many. After the holiday, any unsold boxes are discounted 50% and are eventually sold. Set up and run aMonte Carlo simulation assuming that demand is triangular with minimum value = 40, maximum value = 50, and most likely value = 47. Find the distribution of profit for order quantitiesbetween 40 and 50 to identify the best order quantity.
