Hallmark sells personal expression cards and gifts worldwide through either its own stores or other retailers. Most products are single runs. A typical problem Hallmark faces is as follows: A Barbie stationery gift setcontaining 16 notes, envelopes, and foil sealsis to be produced and marketed to celebrate the 60th year of Barbie. The price will be set at $14 per unit. The cost of production to Hallmark will be $7 per unit. The product manager, based on previous sales of Barbie stationery products, estimates that demand (in 1000s) and its probability for this product will be as follows: Demand 100 110 120 130 140 Probability 0.10 0.20 0.40 0.20 0.10 Hallmark will sell any units not sold through regular channels to discount retailers at $2 less than cost (i.e., $5 per unit).
