You are an account manager at Owens & Minor, a distributor of hospital supplies. You have two customers, Alpha Hospital and Beta Hospital. Your value proposition is to provide each customer with high-quality hospital supplies at the time, in the order quantity, and through the sales channel (online orders or through salespeople) desired by the hospital.

Online Order Cost	$5.00/online order

Problem 2 Assume that your company, Owens & Minor, currently charges a $8.00 selling price per unit to each of its customers. Create a customer profitability statement for each customer. Calculate profitability in both total dollar and per-unit terms.

Hint: Subtract both the direct (traceable) costs and the activity-based allocated overhead costs from the sales revenue generated by each customer. Here is a template if you wish to use it:
