You are required to use simulation to answer the following question. • Provide the R code used for your simulation, along with the results/output. • Clearly explain the sections where you simulated the data. • Offer recommendations or suggestions for the organization based on your findings. Suppose you are managing a small coffee shop, and you want to optimise your daily revenue through pricing strategies. The demand for coffee is influenced by both price and the day of the week. The demand follows a linear relationship with the price, and weekdays have higher demand compared to weekends.
Price-Demand Relationship: The demand for coffee (D) is modeled as: D=150−18*Price. Price is the price of a cup of coffee.
Weekday Influence: Weekdays have a 30% higher demand than weekends.
Simulation Instructions:
Simulate the daily revenue for 1000 scenarios for different prices (ranging from $1.50 to $5.00) on both weekdays and weekends.
Assume that the probability of a weekday is 70% and a weekend is 30%.
Calculate revenue for each scenario.
Consider a normal distribution for random variations in demand.
Objective • Find the optimal price that maximises the average daily revenue over the 1000scenarios. PLEASE USE R CODE – MONTE CARLO SIMULATION. THANK YOU. CODING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART HERE. I ONLY WNT R CODE.

Three hot dog sellers plan to set up shops on the Los Locos beach.There are 3 locations at which sellers can set up their shops. One is at the westend of the beach, another is at the east end of the beach and the third is in theexact center of the beach. Each seller must choose one of these three locations.It is possible for more than one seller to be at any of the locations–thus therecould possibly be one, two, or three sellers at any location.There are 120 customers who located are located with a uniform distributionalong the beach. Each customer will go to the nearest hot dog seller. If thereis more than one seller in the same location, they will randomly choose whichone to go to. (For example, if one seller is located at the west end and two arelocated in the middle, 30 customers will be closer to the west end seller than tothe other two sellers, so the west end seller would get 30 customers, and the twosellers in the center would split the remaining 90 customers, so each of themwould get 45 customers.) The payoff to each seller is the number of customershe or she attracts.Seller 1 chooses a location first. The other two sellers choose their locationssimultaneously, knowing which location Seller 1 has chosen, but not knowingwhich location the other of them has chosen.A) Show this game in extensive form

Task 1: More people care about climate change than you think“People across the world, and the political spectrum, underestimate levels of support for climate action. This “perception gap” matters. Governments will change their policy if they think they have strong public backing. Companies need to know that consumers want to see low-carbon products and changes in business practices. We’re all more likely to make changes if we think others will do the same. If governments, companies, innovators, and our neighbors know that most people are worried about the climate and want to see change, they’ll be more willing to drive it. On the flip side, if we systematically underestimate widespread support, we’ll keep quiet for fear of “rocking the boat”.”To obtain globally representative evidence on the willingness to act against climate change, a study was designed and administered as part of the Gallup World Poll 2021/2022 in a large and diverse set of countries -also published in Nature Climate Change-. In this investigation, we will only examine U.S data and some part of the research. They used stratified sampling method to ensure the representativeness.The poll was conducted with landline and mobile telephone interviews of 1,005 randomly selected American adults (aged 18 and older) during April 22 – June 21, 2021. Participants were asked:

➤ What if marginal utilities are equal but prices differ—does that mean equilibrium?
No. Equal marginal utilities do not guarantee equilibrium when prices differ. Equilibrium depends on MU divided by price. If MU_M = MU_J but P_M ≠ P_J, then MU_M/P_M and MU_J/P_J will differ. The consumer must equalize MU per dollar, not raw marginal utilities.

➤ Why choose a hard peg or currency board?
Governments choose a hard peg or currency board to anchor inflation expectations and increase credibility. Fixing the domestic currency to a stable foreign currency can lower inflation and boost investor confidence. The main cost is losing independent monetary policy and the need for ample foreign reserves or strict fiscal discipline to sustain the peg.

HelpServe 8 ExitPowder Room Mess.
For $300,000, Willis agrees to build a new home for Robert, who is very picky. Willis builds the home to Robert’s specifications with one exception. The faucets and linoleum flooring in an upstairs powder room are not exactly what Robert specified. That was a mistake on Willis’s part, but he had not intentionally failed to follow specifications. When Robert sees the powder room, he goes ballistic and tells Wills that he will not pay Willis anything for the house. It will take $300 to put in correct faucets and linoleum. Willis says that he is willing to pay $300 to put Robert in the position he would have been in had the correct faucets and linoleum been used, but that is all he is willing to pay. Which of the following is most likely true regarding Robert’s entitlement to damages from Willis?
Multiple Choice
There are no damages because Willis did not breach the contract.
Robert will not have to pay for the house because Willis falled to substantially perform.
Even though Willis substantially performed, Robert will not have to pay for the house because Wills materialy breached the contract.
Robert is released from paying for the house because of an anticipatory breach.
Any damaoes awarded would be in the ranoe of $300. which is the amount it would take to fix the breach.
