1. Project Profit Margin Risk Analysis
Financial AnalystBackground
A company is launching a new product but faces unpredictable sales revenue and manufacturing costs.
Problem
The analyst needs to estimate the likelihood of the project being profitable and determine the 90% confidence interval for net profit.
How to use
Enter the revenue and cost distributions, set the formula to subtract costs from revenue, and run 10,000 trials.
distributions: revenue = normal [100, 20]\ncost = uniform [30, 50]\nformula: revenue - cost\ntrials: 10000\nconfidence: 90Outcome
The simulation shows a mean profit of approximately 60, with a 90% confidence interval showing the range of likely outcomes and the probability of profit exceeding zero.
