Explanation of Solution

The seven steps to perform using simulation to analyze the problem are as follows:

Step 1: Defining the problem

Step 2: Operations manager should introduce the important variables regarding the defined problem.

Step 3: Numerical models must be constructed.

Step 4: Possible course of actions to run the numerical models should be fixed.

Step 5: Operations manager should run the experiment.

QUESTION 1 (a) An art dealer's client is willing to buy the Sunflower painting at $50,000. The dealer can buy the painting today for $40,000 or can wait a day and buy the painting tomorrow (if it has not been sold) for $30,000. The dealer may also wait another day and buy the painting (if it is still available) for $26,000. At the end of the third day, the painting will no longer be available for sale. Each day, there is a 0.60 probability that the painting will be sold. Construct a decision tree and determine the strategy that will maximize the dealer's expected profit.
