The store is considering a price per box of $ 4, $ 4.50, $ 5, and $ 5.50. Recognizing that demand is price dependent, through market research the store determines that demand distribution for these prices is as follows.Demand Distribution when Demand Distribution when Sales Price = $ 4.00 Sales Price = $ 4.50 Demand (boxes) Probability Demand (boxes) Probability 80 0.05 70 0.05 90 0. 1 80 100 0.15 0.1 1 10 0.2 90 0.15 120 0.2 100 0.2 130 0.15 110 0.2 140 0. 1 120 0.15 150 0.05 130 0.1 140 0.05 Demand Distribution when Demand Distribution when Sales Price = $ 5.00 Sales Price = $ 5.50 Demand (boxes) Probability Demand (boxes) Probability 65 0.05 50 0.05 75 0. 1 60 0.1 85 0.15 70 0.15 95 0.2 80 0.20 105 0.2 90 0.15 115 0.15 100 0.20 125 0.1 110 0.1 135 0.05 120 0.05You are required to assist the store manager in completing the table below.
