Explanation / Answer

To be calculated:

Average defection rate (DR)

Formula used:

VLC = (P) x (RF) x (CM) x (BLC)

where,

VLC = Value of loyal customer

P = Revenue per unit

RF = Repurchase frequency

CM = Contribution margin

BLC = Buyer’s life cycle

Also,

BLC = (1 / DR)

where,

DR = Defection rate

Therefore,

VLC = (P) x (RF) x (CM) x (BLC)

VLC = (P) x (RF) x (CM) x (1/DR)

Given values:

Value of loyal customer, VLC = $4000

Revenue per unit, P = $250

Repurchase frequency, RF = 2 times per month = 24 times per year

Contribution margin, CM = 50% = 0.50

Putting the given values in the above formula, we get;

VLC = (P) x (RF) x (CM) x (1/DR)

$4000 = ($250) x (24) x (0.50) x (1/DR)

DR = 3000 / 4000

DR = 0.75

Average defection rate = 0.75
