Based on information from the Chase Sapphire case
(1).For the 100,000 bonus point offer, do the margin analysis for each customer type (transactors, revolvers, and churners). The table below provides complete information (assumptions and facts) for you to do the analysis (so you do not need to use any number from the case). Fill in the cell with a ? with a number based on your calculation.
Year 1 Transactors Revolvers Churners
Assumptions
Annual spend $18,000/ $18,000 /$4,000

Margin ? ? ? and Assumptions as follows
Below is my chart so far. My biggest question is how to do Interest Revenue on Unpaid Balance and how do I calculate Margin in this example?
Assumptions | |||
Year 1 | Transaction | Revolver | Churner |
Annual Spend | $18,000 | $18,000 | $4,000 |
% of balance on revolve | 0% | 50% | 0% |

Interchange Fee on Spend | 1.5% | 1.5% | 1.5% |
Interest Rate on Revolve Balance | 20.5% | 20.5% | 20.5% |
Customer Revenues | |||
Annual Card Fee | $450 | $450 | $450 |
Interchange Fee Revenue on Spend | $270 =($18,000* 1.5%) | $270= ($18,000 * 1.5%) | $60 =($4,000* 1.5%) |
Interest Revenue on Unpaid Balance | $0 (no balance on revolve) | ???? | $0 ( no balance on revolve) |
Acquisition Expenses | |||
Card Acquisition Expense | $350 | $350 | $350 |
Bonus Point Expense @100k (1.5% x 100k) | $1500 | $1500 | $1500 |
Margin | ??? | ??? | ??? |
Total Acquisition Expenses | |||
Card acquisition expense+ Bonus point Expense + Margin | Card acquisition expense+ Bonus point expense+ Margin |
(2). How long will transactors need to remain cardholders in order to generate enough revenue to cover the acquisition expense?
Margin / $350= ? Is that how to do this?
(3). How much would transactors and revolvers need to spend in the first year in order to cover the acquisition costs?
II. Is my below chart correct? If i knew how to do the margin from above, I could calculate the spend.
Transactors | $350+$1,500+ Margin= | ? |
Revolvers | $350+$1,500 Margin | ? |
Transactors need to spend approximately $XXX in the first year and revolvers need to spend approximately $XXX in the first year in order to cover the acquisition costs.
