The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $31 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $39 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before finalizing the decision.

- To generate leads for new business, Gustin Investment Services offers free financial planning seminars at major hotels in Southwest Florida. Gustin conducts seminars for groups of 25 individuals. Each seminar costs Gustin $3,700, and the average first-year commission for each new account opened is $5,200. Gustin estimates that for each individual attending the seminar, there is a 0.01 probability that individual will open a new account. (a) Determine the equation for computing Gustin's profit per seminar, given values of the relevant parameters. Profit = (3,700 x 5,200) - New Accounts Opened Profit = 5,200 - (New Accounts Opened x 3,700) Profit = (New Accounts Opened x 3,700) - 5,200 Profit = New Accounts Opened - (5,200 × 3,700) Profit = (New Accounts Opened x 5,200) - 3,700 (b) What type of random variable is the number of new accounts opened?

A new property is available, and Bud Strassel, the president and owner of Strassel Investors, believes if he purchases and develops this property, it can then be sold for $158,000. The current property owner has asked for bids and stated that the property will be sold for the highest bid in excess of $100,000. Two competitors will be submitting bids for the property. Strassel does not know what the competitors will bid, but he assumes for planning purposes that the amount bid by each competitor will be uniformly distributed between $100,000 and $148,000. (a) What is the estimate of the probability Strassel will be able to obtain the property using a bid of $128,000? (Use at least 5,000 trials. Round your answer three decimal places.)

To promote the new tire, Grear has offered to refund a portion of the purchase price if the tire fails to reach 30,000 miles before the tire needs to be replaced. Specifically, for tires with a lifetime below 30,000 miles, Grear will refund a customer $1 per 100 miles short of 30,000. Construct a simulation model to answer the following questions. (Use at least 1,000 trials.) (a) For each tire sold, what is the average cost of the promotion (in $)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
