Stahl Inc. has 1,000 Type-A accounts, each requiring 30 calls per year, and 3,000 Type-B accounts, each requiring 10 calls per year. If each salesperson at Stahl Inc. can make 1,500 sales calls per year, how many salespeople would be needed to meet the total workload?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total number of Type-A calls per year is:
1,000 accounts × 30 calls per account = 30,000 calls

The total number of Type-B calls per year is:
3,000 accounts × 10 calls per account = 30,000 calls

Therefore, the total number of calls per year is:
30,000 + 30,000 = 60,000 calls

To handle 60,000 calls with each salesperson making 1,500 calls per year, the number of salespeople needed is:
60,000 calls ÷ 1,500 calls per salesperson = 40 salespeople.

Therefore, the best choice is (C).
