3. Sharp discount Wholesale club has two service desks, one at each entrance of the store. Customers arrive at each customer service desk at an average of one every six minutes. The service rate at each service desk is about 5 minutes per customer. a. How often is each service desk idle? b. What is the probability that both service desk clerks are busy? c. How much time does a customer spend at the service desk? d. How many customers are waiting in the line in front of each service desk, an average? 4. Sharp discount is considering consolidation of two queues. In that case customers need to wait in one line. Assume that instead of two servers serving one line of customers, we would have one server to serve these customers, but the new server's service time is just 2 minutes, on average. What would be your answers to parts (a) to (d) of question 3? 5. Now assume that you are the manager at Sharp discount, and you need to decide whether you want to consolidate two queues or not. To answer this question, you estimate that waiting in line for customers, is costly for you in terms of dis-utility of customers and you evaluate this cost as $5 per hour for each customer. You need to pay $10/hour to each server if you do not consolidate the two servers and you need to pay $25/hour to the faster server if it consolidates the two queues. As the manager, do you prefer to consolidate or not
