Ellie Mosk, CEO of X-Space Industries, decided to expand the company's product offering beyond the core model rocket business. After investigation, she decided to set up a separate division to design and manufacture products for the drone market. Several companies were interested in having X-Space develop these drones, and financial results, to date, have been encouraging. Revenue was $4 million, gross margins have been running about 40%, and the customer sales and support costs were $1 million. However, there is a growing concern that some customers require a disproportionate share of the sales and support resources, and the true profitability of the customers is unknown. Data were collected to support an analysis of customer profitability: Activity Cost Driver Sales visits Sales visit days Product modifications Number of modifications Phone calls Number of minutes E-mail/electronic communications Number of communications Total Cost $ 476,000 270,000 93,000 172,000 $ 1,011,000 Visit Phone Customer Revenue Gross Profit Days Modifications Electronic Minutes Communications A $ 390,000 $ 140,000 15 15 1,130 625 B 490,000 190,000 25 15 1,220 875 C 590,000 220,000 40 40 1,470 1,100 D 1,100,000 410,000 90 60 1,820 2,100 E 1,400,000 $3,970,000 580,000 $1,540,000 100 70 2,220 2,350 270 200 7,860 7,050 Totals Required: 1.
