Hi John,
I’m struggling with the answer to the example given here.
Where demand is 10 and contract size is 20 – the profit is shown as 10. Should this not be (10)?
Where demand is 10 and contract size is 30 – the profit is shown as (80). Again, why not (120)?
And finally…
Where demand is 20 and contract size is 30 – the profit is shown as 110. Again, can you tell me how this has been worked out?
Thanks
Carmel
Where demand is 10 and contract size is 20.
The demand gives a profit is 10 x (20 – 10 ) = 100
There are 10 not sold, and so they give a loss of 10 x (1 – 10 ) = 90
So the net profit is 100 – 90 = 10
When demand is 10 and contract since is 30.
The demand gives a profit of 10 x (20 – 10) = 100
There are 20 not sold, and so they give a loss of 20 x (1 – 10) = 180
So a loss of 100 – 180 = 80/
When demand is 20 and contact size is 30.
The demand gives a profit of 20 x (20 – 10) = 200
There are 10 units not sold, and so they give a loss of 10 x (1 – 10) = 90
So a profit of 200 – 90 = 110
