Suppose we want to choose capacity for a plant that will produce a new drug. In particular, we want to choose the capacity that maximizes discounted expected profit over the next 10 years. We have the following information:

· Demand for the drug is expected to be normally distributed ˜ Normal (50,000, 12,000).· A unit of capacity costs $16 to build.· The number of units produced will equal the demand, up to capacity limits.· The revenue per unit is $3.70 and the cost per unit is $0.20 (variable cost).· The maintenance cost per unit of capacity is $0.40 (fixed cost).· The discount rate is 10%. Perform a simulation assuming the plant will be designed to meet the expected demand. Use RISKSIMTABLE with a range of possible values to help the firm decide what the plant capacity should be.
