Simulation strategies assist in making management decisions since it's measurable and can be evaluated by carrying out production, pricing and marketing strategies. As an example in making decisions concerning the five products, simulation strategies can be implemented based on revenue accumulation and profit margins. The simulation strategy will mainly concentrate on revenue recognition which refers to an accounting principle that involves cash basis accounting and accrual basis accounting. Cash basis involves recognizing revenues when cash is received while accrual basis accounting recording revenues when cash is realized or earned.
