Step 4: Monte Carlo Simulation
In this step, you will create a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the best production quantity for the new BMX-9000 model using MS Excel.
Open a new worksheet and name it BMX-9000 Simulation. Name the Tab: BMX-9000.
Starting in the upper right (A1) cell, set up the following model to calculate BMX-9000 gross profits. Cell A1 will have the label: BMX-9000 Production Model
BMX-9000 Production Model
Trial Number Leave this cell blank.
Quantity Produced 100 (this is an initial trial value)
Sales Projection Mean Enter the marketing department’s full-price sales projection as given in the scenario/summary section.
Sales Projection Standard Deviation Enter the standard deviation of the marketing department’s full-price sales project as given in the scenario/summary section.
Projected Demand Enter a formula to calculate a random normally distributed value with the mean and standard deviation of the sales projection.
Quantity Sold at Full Price Enter a formula for the minimum of the projected demand and the quantity produced.
Quantity Sold at a Loss Enter a formula for the maximum of zero and the difference between the quantity produced and the quantity sold at full price.
Gross Profit per Unit (Full Price) Enter the gross profit per unit for full-price sales given in the scenario/summary section.
Gross Profit per Unit (Loss) Enter the gross profit per unit for sales at a loss given in the scenario/summary (should be a negative number) section.
Gross Profit on Full Price Sales Multiply the quantity sold at full price times the gross profit per unit (full price).
Gross Profit on Loss Sales Multiply the quantity sold at loss times the gross profit per unit (loss).
Total Gross Profit Add the gross profit on full price sales and the gross profit on loss sales.
Note: Each time you enter a new value or formula, the number in your projected demand cell, and all other cells calculated from it, will change. This is because Excel recalculates the spreadsheet and generates a new random number each time.
In a blank area of the same sheet, create a two-variable data table in which the row variable is the quantity produced (values of 20 to 200 in increments of 20), the column variable is the trial number (1 to 100), and the result is the total gross profit.
Add formulas to calculate the average gross profit over all 100 trials for each production quantity.
Calculate the Average Gross Profit for each column.
On the same sheet, add a column chart showing the average gross profit for each production quantity. Give the chart a descriptive title and axis labels.
Save the workbook.

Hi, I have used this service for my research proposal. The writer chose a dissertation title for me which was ” STRATEGIC AGILITY:
EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AGILE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORKS”.   I had submitted the research proposal to turnitin with no issues. The problem began when my tutor started asking for an ETHICS CHECKLIST and participation form.I filled the ETHICS CHECLIST out on a whim, but the tutor sent me an e-mail saying “Dear Wynter,
I have seen your ethics check list form. There is no relation between topic and project summary.I read your project summary and here is my recommendation of topic for you. If you want to go with it ,please rearrange your ethics check list form accordingly.
Effectiveness of Digital Communication Tools on Employee Productivity in the Healthcare Industry in Birmingham
Remember the research method needs minimum 40 members survey if it is quantitative method and also you can select another sector rather than health care based on the availability of people in the survey.
Try to think and write ethics check list form accordingly.”
I am now confused as to whether I need to change the dissertation title (which I am going to use essaypro to complete) and whether this change will effect the previous research proposal that I have done (I am confused). Please can you explain to me in simple terms what you think of this whole situation and if you will be able to help complete the ETHICS FORM and participation form based on the new title. If yes do I need to pay for them as a seperate order? I am going to send the original research proposal and ethics form for you to see where Ihave gone wrong with the ETHICS FORM , along with the participation form. For you to determined if you can help me fill them out correctly based on the new title suggested by the tutor.  Also would you be able to complete supervisor logs in another order or explain to me what I need to do to complete it along with the consent form. Thank you.

**INTRODUCTION**
Structuring and communicating a total compensation package that meets regulatory requirements and the needs of a global workforce requires a delicate balancing act between what is required and what will contribute to an effective relationship between employer, employee, and the community or country in which the company operates. Communicating benefits programs to employees can be as important as the benefits themselves. Knowing how to leverage all available compensation options is a necessary skill for any HR professional.
***PREPARATION**
Research compensation and benefits for either Java Corp or an organization of your choice. A minimum of four resources are required to support your work.
***SCENARIO***

Overview
For the purposes of this assignment, imagine that you are a systems architect at a medium-sized publishing company with 130 employees. The company primarily publishes books, both in print and online. It also produces other kinds of content, such as audiobooks, interactive reading material, and magazines. Your leadership has decided that it is time to either upgrade the current OS or adopt a new one (e.g., Windows, Linux, macOS).
As the systems architect, you have the responsibility to determine which OS the company should implement for each department. There are many aspects to consider when making this decision, including what existing applications are used by employees on a frequent basis, cost, functionality provided, performance, vendor support, and so on. To determine which OS should be implemented, you need to complete a site survey first. Later, the site survey can be used to help you make a decision as to which operating systems to implement based on what is currently used in the department. For this activity, you will conduct a site survey. This is also a step that you will need to take when you submit Project One in Module Four. The feedback that you receive after submitting this activity should be implemented as you craft your Project One submission.
Prompt
Complete a Site Survey: A site survey compares the three different operating systems that the company is planning to implement. To complete this task, use the Project One Site Survey Template linked in the Supporting Materials area. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Operating Systems: Acknowledge what OSes are already used in your site survey. The type of OS already used and how many employees are using it can influence your decision making.
Server: Determine whether the desktops are on a hardware or cloud-based server.
Although not required in this portion of the project, you may want to think about whether or not the server should be changed. This change could be recommended in your proposal.
Standard Hardware for Operating System Types: Determine the minimum required hardware. This could include desktop and server.
Network Connection: Determine whether the network is wired or wireless.
You will want to think about whether or not the network connection should be changed. This change could be recommended in your proposal.
Applications: Identify what software applications need to be supported by the OS. Your survey of what applications desktop users use most frequently will influence your decision making, as some applications are not supported by certain OSes.
Supporting Materials
The following resources support your work on the project:
Reading: Organizational Needs
This document will provide you with context on the company’s needs and industry best practices. As you review this document, you will learn about what the company currently uses when it comes to hardware and software. Learning about the organization’s needs can help you make an informed decision on which OS to implement.
Template: Site Survey Template
Use this template to compare the operating systems that the company can implement for its employees who use desktops. For this activity, do not complete the portion of this template that includes the proposal.
What to Submit
Site Survey: Your submission for this milestone should be the completed first six sections of the Site Survey Template in Word (.docx) format. Do not complete the last two sections of this template; you will complete these for Project One.
