You are considering adding a new food product to your store for resale. You are certain that, in a month, minimum demand for the

product will be 5 units, while maximum demand will be 8 units. (Unfortunately, the new product has a one-month shelf life and is considered to be waste at the end of the month.) You will pay $70/unit for this new product while you plan to sell the product at $100 ($30/unit profit). The estimated demand for this new product in any given month is 5 units (p=0.2), 6 units (p=0.2), 7 units (p=0.4), and 8 units (p=0.2).

Answer:

Using EMV analysis, the number of units of the new product should be purchased for resale = Purchase 7.

The maximum EMV of profit you can make is 270.

Explanation:

We can use the following method to solve the given problem

Solution:

Using EMV analysis,

EMV (Purchase 6 for resale)= 6(40)(0.1) + 6(40)(0.4) + 6(40)(0.5)=240

EMV (Purchase 7 for resale) = [6(40)-60](0.1) +7(40)(0.4) + 7 (40)(0.5) = 270

EMV (Purchase 8 for resale) = [6(40)-2(60)] (0.1) + [7 (40) - 60] (0.4) + 8(40)(0.5)= 260

Largest EMV= 270; Choose to purchase 7 units for resale.

Answer: Cash in advance

Explanation: Cash in advance is a type of payment that is used in some trade agreements.

This method of payment will require a buyer to pay the seller in cash before a shipment is received and sometimes before a shipment is even made.

Cash in advance is a strategic form of payment that can be used in any transaction in where there is a delay between the sales agreement and the sales delivery.

In the scenario given in the question, we can see that the German company has already placed an order, but the company has also caused a delay in the transaction by requesting for extra modifications.

This will prompt EastSide Tractors to feel the need to safeguard their interests in case the German company should default. This is why a Cash in advance payment system will come into play.
