Consider an item with the following discrete demand distribution for a one-time inventory decision.
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | }
\hline \text { Demand } ( D ) & \text { Demand Probability } \
\hline 10 & 0.15 \
20 & 0.20 \
30 & 0.30 \
40 & 0.20 \
50 & 0.15 \
\hline
\end{array}$$
This item experiences a seasonal demand pattern. A profit of $15 per unit is made if the item is sold in season, but a loss of $10 per unit is incurred if sold after the season is over.
-Use the information in Scenario D.3.What is the payoff when 40 units are ordered but a demand of 50 materializes?
A) $150
B) $300
C) $450
D) $600
