A major credit card company is launching a referral program, which gives an existing
customer $50 for each new customer he or she refers to the company. The credit
card company estimates that the average annual spending of a customer is $15,000,
and the revenue for the credit card company would be 5% of the spending. The
estimated marketing and operations costs for the referral program is $500,000 per
year.
a. Build a spreadsheet model for the credit card company to estimate the annual
increase in profit gained from the referral program. If the referral program helps the
credit card company acquire 25,000 new customers, what is the annual increase in
profit gained from the referral program. Assume all new customers are acquired at

Sheryl Sandberg and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook are introduced in the chapter’s opening feature. Assume that they are considering two options. Plan A. Facebook would begin selling access to a premium version of its website. The new online customers would use their credit cards. The company has the capability of selling the premium service with no additional investment in hardware or software. Annual credit sales are expected to increase by $250,000. Costs associated with Plan A: Additional wages related to these new sales are $135,500; credit card fees will be 4.75% of sales; and additional recordkeeping costs will be 6% of sales. Premium service sales will reduce advertising revenues for Facebook by $8,750 annually because some customers will now only use the premium service. Plan B. The company would begin selling Facebook merchandise. It would make additional annual credit sales of $500,000. Costs associated with Plan B: Cost of these new sales is $375,000; additional recordkeeping…

website, Instagram page and Facebook ads that will cost him $200 a month. To start the business, his
tools would cost $500. The total repairs would include a flat rate of $30 for an assessment and another
$100 to fix the phone. The supplies to complete each phone would cost $40.
Option 2:
Zach needs a way to source old phones from people who no longer need them. He would pay $50 for a
used phone in decent condition and then refurbish it for $40. He would subsequently sell the device for
$200. Zach would no longer need to set up a kiosk in the mall, but rather manage everything online.
This means that he would need to create a website, Instagram page and Facebook ads which would cost
him $200 a month. He would also need to spend $500 on tools to begin.
