Question:
Truck drivers working for Sid Das (see Solved Problem D.1)
earn an average of $10 per hour. Brick loaders receive about
$6 per hour. Truck drivers waiting in the queue or at the loading platform are drawing a salary but are productively idle and unable to generate revenue during that time. What would be the hourly cost savings to the firm if it employed 2 loaders instead of 1?
Referring to the data in Solved Problem D.1, we note that the average number of trucks in the system is 3 when there is only 1 loader and .6 when there are 2 loaders.
