Q1. Construct a spreadsheet simulation model for calculating profits for a company given that the demand for their new product is normally distributed with a mean of 6 and a standard deviation of 1. The selling price is $30/unit. The fixed cost is $50. The per-unit variable cost is uniformly distributed between $10 and $20. Assume that all that is produced is sold and that production and demand are always equal. Execute the simulation for 50 trials.
