Utilise Monte
\nCarlo simulation to perform a risk analysis of profitability levels in the Aberdeen<\/b>
\nHomeware department (Note: the analysis should assume overall gross profit
\nmargins between 60% to 70% on revenue sales. The department also makes a daily

<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the steps suggested in class<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Gross Profit Margin (GPM):<\/span> Randomly generate the gross profit margin as a percentage between 60% and 70%.<\/p>\n

2. Daily Sales Revenue:<\/span> This value can be estimated based on historical data or assumed based on average market conditions. If not available, you might assume a range and then randomly generate sales data from within this range for the simulation.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Fixed Daily Overheads:<\/span> \u00a34,250 contribution to overheads per day.<\/p>\n

4 Simulation Size:<\/span> Decide how many simulations you want to run. A larger number, like 1,000, would typically provide more robust results.<\/p>\n

5 Revenue Model:<\/span> Define the range or distribution of daily sales revenue. This can be modeled based on historical data (e.g., normal distribution, log-normal distribution).<\/span><\/p>\n

6 Profit Calculation:<\/span> For each iteration, calculate the daily profit using:
