(i) (ii) Fiveday rentals: A survey of customers who visit the website but do not rent suggests that there is demand for a 5-day rental. For example, for a $1000 dress, customers are willing to pay $30 per day for a 5-day rental period. The demand for 5- day rentals is estimated to be 100 per day. One downside of this proposal is that it will eat away some of the 10-day rental demand (around 20 per day). However, the total demand increases to 180 per day, a substantial increase of 80%. Furthermore, satisfying this additional demand would require RAD to buy more dresses. Improved return inspection: Currently returned dresses wait for long time at the inspection stage. The main reason for this is higher level of accurate RAD requires in identifying \"damaged\" dresses (since cleaning damaged dresses at MaxClean is very costly). The wait time for inspection could be reduced by 2 days by hiring additional resources. This will however increase the cost of inspecting each dress by $1
