In Problem 12 of the previous section, suppose that the demand for cars is normally distributed with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. Use @RISK to determine the best order quantityin this case, the one with the largest mean profit. Using the statistics and/or graphs from @RISK, discuss whether this order quantity would be considered best by the car dealer. (The point is that a decision maker can use more than just mean profit in making a decision.)

Using the Unit Product Cost, compute for the unit product cost and the marked-up price of her brownies.
Your company makes hand sanitizer in two lines: Moisturizing+, and StandardSoap. On the market, Moisturizing+ retails for $175/L and StandardSoap retails for $95/L. You make the hand sanitizer by combining lotion, soap, and secret ingredient SpecialX. These ingredients are purchased from a mysterious supplier, and you can purchase at most 4000L of lotion, 5000L of soap, and 750L of SpecialX in a month. Lotion costs $25/L, soap costs $10/L, and SpecialX costs $35/L. To make 1L of Moisturizing+, you need to combine 0.5L of lotion, 0.3L of soap, and 0.2L of SpecialX. To make 1L of StandardSoap, you need to combine 0.4L of lotion, 0.55L of soap, and 0.05L of SpecialX. Your company has committed to donating 500L of StandardSoap to a local charity. Since this is a donation, you will not receive any revenue. However, the costs and purchasing limits apply to both the hand sanitizer that is sold on the market and donated to charity.
