(All answers were generated using 1,000 trials and native Excel functionality.) Galaxy Co. sells virtual reality (VR) goggles targeted to customers who like to play video games. Galaxy procures each pair of goggles for $150 from its supplier and sells each pair of goggles for $300. Monthly demand for the VR goggles is a normal random variable with a mean of 140 units and a standard deviation of 35 units. At the beginning of each month, Galaxy orders enough goggles from its supplier to bring the inventory level up to 120 goggles. If the monthly demand is less than 120, Galaxy pays $20 per pair of goggles that remains in inventory at the end of the month. If the monthly demand exceeds 120, Galaxy sells only the 120 pairs of goggles in stock. Galaxy assigns a shortage cost of $40 for each unit of demand that is unsatisfied to represent a loss-of-goodwill among its customers. Management would like to use a simulation model to analyze this situation. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel file below.
