Schneider Electric manufactures power distribution equipment for commercial customers, such as hospitals and manufacturers. Activity-based costing was used to determine customer profitability. Customer service activities were assigned to individual customers, using the following assumed customer service activities, activity base, and activity rate:

Customer Service Activity	Activity Base	Activity Rate
Bid preparation	Number of bid requests	$400 per request
Shipment	Number of shipments	$80 per shipment
Support standard items	Number of standard items ordered	$25 per std. item
Support nonstandard items	Number of nonstandard items ordered	$150 per nonstd. item

Assume that the company had the following gross profit information for three representative customers:

1		Customer 1	Customer 2	Customer 3
2	Revenue	$120,000.00	$200,000.00	$160,000.00
3	Cost of goods sold	76,800.00	110,000.00	83,200.00

5	Gross profit as a percent of sales	36.0%	45.0%	48.0%

The administrative records indicated that the activity-base usage quantities for each customer were as follows:

Activity Base	Customer 1	Customer 2	Customer 3
Number of bid requests	14	38	55
