Solve the following Make in-house or outsource decision model using Monte Carlo Simulation of Data Table.The production level has to be set equal to demand. Demand and unit variable cost are assumed to follow a normal distribution (demand mean = 1050, with standard deviation = 90; and unit variable cost mean = 130 with standard deviation of 18. Make 1000 trials to simulate demand to find out the approximate probability to meet the demand through in-house production.
