The average length of the sales calls should be 2 hours. The average amount of salesperson selling time available annually is 2000 hours. How many salespeople should Tim's business have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Number of customers, n = 1000 customers

amount of salesperson selling time available annually, As = 2000 hours per salesperson

Number of call on a customer = 50 times per customer

length of the sales calls = 2 hours

Length of sales calls per year = 2000/2

= 1000 times per salesperson

Number of calls of customer per salesperson = 1000/50

= 20 customer per salesperson

Number of salesperson = 1000/20

= 50 salespersons

Answer 2

Answer:

Tim's business should have 50 sales person

Explanation:

Number of customers = 1,000 customers

Call frequesncy to each = 50 times

Average Length of call = 2 hours

Average sales persons time = 2,000 hours per year

Total Time  = Customers x Average time per call x Call frequesncy

Total Time  = 1,000 x 2 x 50 = 100,000 hours per year

Number of Sales people required = Total time / Average time per sales person = 100,000 / 2,000 = 50 sales person
