Costs of Different Customer Classes

Kaune Food Products Company manufactures canned mixed nuts with an average manufacturing cost of $49 per case (a case contains 24 cans of nuts). Kaune sold 154,000 cases last year to the following three classes of customer:

Customer Price per
Case
  Cases
Sold
Supermarkets   $64         80,000    
Small grocers   95         44,000    
Convenience stores   92         30,000    

 

The supermarkets require special labeling on each can costing $0.03 per can. They order through electronic data interchange (EDI), which costs Kaune about $55,000 annually in operating expenses and depreciation. Kaune delivers the nuts to the stores and stocks them on the shelves. This distribution costs $42,000 per year.

The small grocers order in smaller lots that require special picking and packing in the factory; the special handling adds $20 to the cost of each case sold. Sales commissions to the independent jobbers who sell Kaune products to the grocers average 6 percent of sales. Bad debts expense amounts to 7 percent of sales.

Convenience stores also require special handling that costs $26 per case. In addition, Kaune is required to co-pay advertising costs with the convenience stores at a cost of $18,000 per year. Frequent stops are made to each convenience store by Kaune delivery trucks at a cost of $27,000 per year.
