The Edward H. & Wael F. (E & W) firm currently sells its product with a 2% discount to customers who pay by cash or credit card when they purchase one of the firm’s products; otherwise, the full price is due within 30 days. Sixty percent of customers take advantage of the discount. The firm plans to drop the discount so the new terms will simply be net 30. In doing so, it expects to sell 150 fewer units per month and all customers to pay at day 30. The E&W firm currently sells 1500 units per month at a cost per unit of $45 and a selling price per unit of $80. If the firm’s required return is 3%, what is the net present value (NPV) of making this change? (Show all the steps and your calculations; see the example 19.4).

A small branch bank has two tellers, one for deposits and one for withdrawals. Customers arrive at each teller’s window with an average rate of 18 customers per hour. (The total customer arrival rate is 36 per hour.) The interarrival times are exponential. The service time of each teller is exponential with a mean of 3 minutes. The bank manager is considering changing the setup to allow each teller to handle both withdrawals and deposits to avoid the situations that arise from time to time when the queue is sizable in front of one teller while the other is idle. However, since the tellers would have to handle both deposits and withdrawals, their efficiency would decrease to a mean service time of 3.2 minutes. Compare the present system with the proposed system with respect to the total average number of customers in the banks and the average time a customer would have to spend in the bank.
