Use the information below to answer the following question(s).
Consider the following spreadsheet for an outsourcing decision model.
1 \ A B 2 Outsourcing Decision Model 3 Data 4 5 Manufactured in-house 6 Fixed cost \ 60,000 7 Unit variable cost \ 130 8 9 Purchased from supplier 10 Unit cost \ 180 11 12 Demand volume \ 1,600 13 14 Model 15 16 Total manufacturing cost 17 Total purchased cost 18 19 Difference 20 Decision
We assume that the production (demand)volume is normally distributed with a mean of 1,000 and a standard deviation of 100.For the unit cost, select the triangular distribution.It has a minimum value of $150, most likely value of $165, and a maximum value of $190.The number of trials per simulation is equal to 5,000 at a Sim.Random Seed of 1.Run the simulation and answer the following question(s)using the Risk Solver Platform.
