Answer 1

FC VC SP
mean          2,465 alpha 4 5
SD             127 beta 6 3
A 20 34

FC + VC * units = Sell price * units (when we break even)

units = FC / (SP - VC)

For simulating the fixed cost (following normal with mean 2465 and sd 127), in excel write the formula norm.inv(rand(),2465,127)

For the variable cost, write the formula beta.inv(rand(),4,6, 20,32)

For the selling price, write the formula beta.inv(rand(),5,3, 34,92)

fourth column will have units as FC/ (SP - VC). drag the 4 columns to 100,000 observations. 100,000 simulations yielded the average units as 57

50 sample simulations as shown below
