Abstract

This paper puts forward a method for optimizing sales cost of a special kind of sales with randomicity. This method transforms stochastic optimization into a determinable one. It has two steps: first, by the means of mean sales amount, the problem is transformed into a discrete variate optimization one without randomicity, second, by the means of penalty function method, the discrete variate optimization problem is transformed into a continuous variate optimization problem. This method is expected to be effective for sales cost optimization of wholesale.
