Özet: In this study, a simulation program is developed for computing a company’s profit without having any information other than competitors' market price and sale amount. In this way, company profits could be estimated using simulation method with practical manner. The simulation environment is built up by using competitors’ prices and market capacities which are the basic elements of a market, number of shifts and fixed-variable costs of the subjected company. In addition, it is proved that even though there is not more information about competitors, their behavior could still be predicted. One of the main conclusions of the paper is that simulation technique could be applied by company administrators for estimating competitors’ behavior with in the market and profit prediction could be made accordingly. It is also observed that changes on the variables of market could be easily adapted to the simulator such that the profit could be estimated based on new situation
