A DECISION PAYOFF MODEL
Albion store is contemplating the quantity of the latest smartphones (150,200, or 250 units) to order and potentially sell during the upcoming tech expo. The store purchases each smartphone at $350 and sells them for $500 each. Any unsold smartphones after the expo will be liquidated at a reduced price of $250 each during a clearance event. To calculate their overall profit, they have formulated the following profit (payoff) model:
Profit =(retail price \times min{order quantity, customer demand})-(purchase cost \times order quantity)+ revenue from the clearance event (if any)
Clearance event revenue = max [ clearance price \times (order - demand),0]
For example, if they order 250 units and demand is 200 units, their gross profit will be
($500\times 200)-($350\times 250)+ $250\times (250-200)= $25,000
Note: Clearance revenue can be only realized if supply is greater than demand and there is no penalty for excess demand.
Use the given information to complete the following payoff table.
