Hello Sir,
Hope you are keeping well!
Question – A bank has developed a new type of account called the Gold Account. Development and advertising costs
were $50,000. At the start of each of the next four years, 1,000 customers are expected to open a Gold
Account and to pay the bank $300 each year that they use it…….The above question is from BPP ..
My question – Can you explain what did they do in answer as I was completely off the track by looking at the answer.
can you just please briefly explain m sure I will understand it ..Thank you in advance !
In the first year there are 1,000 Gold customers and they lose the bank 400 – 300 = 100 each. So the bank loses a total of 100,000.
In the second year there are left 500 Gold customers, and they gain the bank 300 – 50 = 250 each, so the bank gains a total from them of 250 x 500 = 125,000.
So a profit from those original 1,000 customer of $25,000.
This happens 4 times because 1,000 new customers occur each year, so a total of 4 x $25,000 = $100,000.
Subtracting the advertising costs gives a total lifetime profit of $50,000.
Dividing by the number of customers gives $12.50 profit per customer.Thank you so much sir for explaining this in such a simply way.
You are the best ..
Thanks…
