Sensitivity Analysis• How do key outputs change in
response to changes in inputs?• Which inputs are the most
important?• How robust is our decision?

Finance Example• A European call option on a stock earns the
owner an amount equal to the price at expiration minus the exercise price, if the price of the stock on which the call is written exceeds the exercise price. Otherwise, the call pays nothing.
• A European put option earns the owner an amount equal to the exercise price minus the price at expiration, if the price at expiration is less than the exercise price. Otherwise the put pays nothing.

Finance Example• The Black-Scholes formula calculates
the price of a European options based on the following inputs: – today's stock price– the duration of the option (in years)– the option's exercise price– the risk-free rate of interest (per year)– the annual volatility (standard deviation) in
stock price

Solution Methodology
Notice the use of “if” statements in cells E10:E11 and B13, so that the same model can be used for both puts and calls.

Data Table• Similar to copying a formula over
many cells, but better for complicated functions (e.g. Black-Scholes)
• Specify Row and/or Column Input Cells
• Tricky to learn, but worth it

Marketing Example• Microsoft is trying to determine whether to
give a $10 rebate, a $6 price cut, or have no price change on a software product.
• Currently 40,000 units of the product are sold each week for $45.
• The variable cost of the product is $5. • The most likely case appears to be that a $10
rebate will increase sales 30% and half of all people will claim the rebate.
• For the price cut, the most likely case is that sales will increase 20%.
![Page 18: Session 2a](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56815b63550346895dc94feb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Decision Models -- Prof. Juran
18
Managerial Problem Definition
Under what circumstances should Microsoft offer the rebate, and under what circumstances should they offer the price cut? (Or should they do neither?)

FormulationDecision variables: 3 possible marketing policies.
Objective: Maximize Profit.
Constraints:Various assumptions have been made (current sales level, current cost structure, consumer behavior in response to marketing policies).

• Under current assumptions, the rebate policy appears to be optimal.
• How sensitive is this result to possible errors in our assumptions?
• Specifically, how wrong could we be as to the 30% assumption and still be correct in using the rebate?
• What is the point of indifference between the rebate and the price cut?

Conclusions and Recommendations
• Go with the rebate as long as the increase in sales is expected to be at least 16.57%.
• Under current assumptions, Microsoft would earn $1,820,000 profit (an improvement of $220,000).

What If?• Important parameters are not

Call Center Example• For a telephone survey, a marketing
research group needs to contact at least 150 wives, 120 husbands, 100 single adult males, and 110 single adult females.
• It costs $2 to make a daytime call and (because of higher labor costs) $5 to make an evening call.
• Because of a limited staff, at most half of all phone calls can be evening calls.

Managerial Problem Definition
We want to minimize the total cost of completing the survey, subject to the various probabilities of reaching certain types of people at certain times of the day, costs of making calls, and minimum requirements for numbers of calls to certain demographic groups.

Optimal Solution
Make 900 Daytime calls and 100 Evening calls.
Total cost = $2,300.

Example: Sensitivity to Calling Costs
• Starting with the optimal solution to the initial problem, use the SolverTable add-in to investigate changes in the unit cost of either type of call.
• Specifically, investigate changes in the cost of a daytime call, with the cost of an evening call fixed, to see when (if ever) only daytime calls or only evening calls will be made.

ConclusionsIf daytime calls are very inexpensive, we can dispense with evening calls altogether. However, we will always have to make at least 400 daytime calls, no matter how expensive they are.
