the relationship between the nuber of times you get your car washed each month and your total monthly benefit from each car wash
Added by Josefa W.
Step 1
Let n be the number of car washes you get in a month. Let MB_k be the benefit you get from the k-th car wash (the extra satisfaction, value, or usefulness you obtain from that wash, given you’ve had k-1 washes already). Let TB(n) be your total monthly benefit from Show more…

You operate a carwash with one machine. When you charge $10 per wash you expect to have 20,000 customers per year. For every 10c reduction in price you expect to add 250 customers per year. Your fixed cost is $100,000 per year and your variable cost is negligible. Your carwash is open 300 days a year 10 hours per day. It takes about 5 minutes to wash a car. Assume Poisson arrival and exponential service time. You consider pricing your car wash between $8 and $10 in 10c increments in order to maximize profit. Note that the arrival rate depends on the price you charge. 2.) Suppose you lose 2c per minute of waiting in line per customer in good will (future business). How much should you charge to maximize profit? What will be your profit? How many customers will you serve? You must use data table for this question.

Bargain Rental Car offers rental cars in an off-airport location near a major tourist destination in California. Management would like to better understand the variable and fixed portions of it car washing costs. The company operates its own car wash facility in which each rental car that is returned is thoroughly cleaned before being released for rental to another customer. Management believes that the variable portion of its car washing costs relates to the number of rental returns. Accordingly, the following data have been compiled: Month Rental Returns Car Wash Costs January 2,380 $ 10,825 February 2,421 $ 11,865 March 2,586 $ 11,332 April 2,725 $ 12,422 May 2,968 $ 13,850 June 3,281 $ 14,419 July 3,353 $ 14,935 August 3,489 $ 15,738 September 3,057 $ 13,563 October 2,876 $ 11,889 November 2,735 $ 12,683 December 2,983 $ 13,796
