Suppose that it costs the bank $1000 per customer served to obtain an average servicing time of 10 minutes, and that each minute of decrease in this average time would cost $100 per customer served. How much would have to be budgeted by the bank to decrease the average size of the queue from one and a third customers to half customer? (10 marks)
