Listello Tiles is a small distributor of marble tiles. Listello identifies its three major activities and cost pools as ordering, receiving and storage, and shipping, and it reports the following details for 2016 : (Click the icon to view the details.) For 2016, Listello buys 240,000 marble tiles at an average cost of $2 per tile and sells them to retailers at an average price of $5 per tile. Assume Listello has no fixed costs and no inventories. \begin{tabular}{|llrl} \hline Activity & Cost Driver & \begin{tabular}{r} Quantity of \\ Cost Driver \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c} Cost per Unit of \\ Cost Driver \end{tabular} \\ \hline 1. Placing and paying for orders of marble tiles & Number of orders & 700 & $80 per order \\ 2. Receiving and storage & Loads moved & 4,700 & $60 per load \\ 3. Shipping of marble tiles to retailers & Number of shipments & 2,200 & $30 per shipment \\ \hline \end{tabular} Requirement 1. Calculate Dutchman's operating income for 2016. Requirement 2. For 2017, retailers are demanding a 4\% discount off the 2016 price. Dutchman's suppliers are only willing to give a 3% discount. Dutchman expects to sell the same quantity of marble tiles in 2017 as in 2016 . If all other costs and cost-driver information remain the same, calculate Dutchman's operating income for 2017 . Suppose further that Listello decides to make changes in its ordering and receiving-and-storing practices. By placing long-run orders with its key suppliers, Listello expects to reduce the number of orders to 400 and the cost per order to $40 per order. By redesigning the layout of the warehouse and reconfiguring the crates in which the marble tiles are moved, Listello expects to reduce the number of loads moved to 3,825 and the cost per load moved to $58. Will Listello achieve its target operating income of $1.19 per tile in 2017 ? Show your calculations. Begin by calculating Dutchman's operating income, then the per unit amounts if the company makes these changes. (Round the per unit amounts to the nearest cent.)
