Activity-Based Customer-Driven Costs Suppose that Stillwater Designs has two classes of distributors: IT distributors and non-IT distributors. The JIT distributor places small, frequent orders, and the non-JIT distributor tends to place larger, less frequent orders. Both types of distributors are buying the same product. Stillwater Designs provides the following information about customer-related activities and costs for the most recent quarter: JIT Distributors Non-JIT Distributors Sales orders 1,200 120 Sales calls 70 70 Service calls 350 175 Average order size 850 8.500 Manufacturing cost/unit $125 $125 Customer costs: Processing sales orders $3.580,000 Selling goods 1,120.000 Servicing goods 1,050,000 Total $5,750,000 Required: 1. Calculate the total revenues per distributor category, and assion the customer costs to each distributor type by using revenues as the allocation Required: 1. Calculate the total revenues per distributor category, and assign the customer costs to each distributor type by using revenues as the allocation base. Selling price for one unit is $150. Round calculations to the nearest dollar. JIT Non-JIT Sales (in units) 1,020,000 1,020,000 Sales 153,000,000 $ 153,000,000 Allocation 2.

Round the interim calculations to the nearest dollar JIT Non-IT Ordering costs Selling costs Service costs Total For non IT distributors by how much can the price be decreased without affecting customer profitability? Round your answer to the nearest cent. per unit 3. Assume that the IT distributors are simply imposing the frequent orders on Stillwater Designs. No formal discussion has taken place between IT customers and Stillwater Designs regarding the supply of goods on a JIT basis. The sales pattern has evolved over time. As an independent consultant what would you suggest to Stillwater Designs' management?
