A small bank is trying to determine the number of tellers to employ. The total cost of employing a teller is $100 per day, and a teller can serve an average of 160 customers per day. On average, 210 customers arrive per day at the bank, and both service times and interarrival times are exponentially distributed. If the delay cost per customer day is $500, how many tellers should the bank hire? (The “MMs Template with Economic Analysis” is attached for you to do the calculation. Report your input and final answer in the exam template file.)
