- A utility company has the added challenge of estimating the impact of an outage on its customers. In other words, a good-quality machine will theoretically lead to fewer (or shorter) outages. That is a real benefit to the company as customers without service can lead to a public relations nightmare. That said, there is real value to a reduction in outages and it should be considered as part of the spending analysis.

- Assume that a customer shops at a local grocery store spending an average of $250 a week, resulting in the retailer earning a $40 profit each week from this customer. Assuming the shopper visits the store all 52 weeks of the year, calculate the customer lifetime value if this shopper remains loyal over a 10-year life-span.

How much are you worth to a given company if you continue to purchase its brand for the rest of your life? Many marketers are grappling with that question, but it's not easy to determine how much a customer is worth to a company over his or her lifetime. Calculating customer lifetime value can be very com- plicated. Intuitively, however, it can be a fairly simple net pres- ent value calculation, which incorporates the concept of the time value of money. To determine a basic customer lifetime value, each stream of profit (C, the net cash flow after costs are subtracted) is discounted back to its present value (PV) and then summed. The basic equation for calculating net present value (NPV) is: NPV can be calculated easily on most financial calculators or by using one of the calculators available on the Internet, such as the one found at…arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image formate thanku.arrow_forward
