My First Day
When I had first played I had started to assess the amounts of materials I would need for quality lemonade and the amount I would sell it for. I had found that the buyers in the game were cheapskates unwilling to buy lemonade priced over a dollar. So by lowering the price, the number of buyers had increased.
This had continued over the course of a week......
Halfway into the week
Halfway through the week I realized that other things mattered, such as the weather. That was a very big factor in the success of my lemonade stand. Days with warm and sunny temperatures consistently had better results, while temperatures such as rainy, cloudy, and hazy impacted my sales. So I had lowered the number of my materials in expectancy of lower rates of consumers.
My Last Day
After day 14 I had finished the game, leaving me with a result of $44.05, and an increase of $24.05 from the original start out of $20.00.
From playing the game I had learned about production, supply and demand of products, and possible factors that could affect your business.
I had learned 3 possible strategies in this game
1) Start prices low, until raised popularity, money, and quality is raised
2) To limit the number of possible materials according to different factors(the weather)
3) To ensure good quality of my product(The Lemonade), and to make use of my storage of materials that are perishable( the lemons, and ice)
