Caldwell Supply, a wholesaler, has determined that its operations have three primary activities: purchasing, warehousing, and distributing. The firm reports the following operating data for the year just completed: Caldwell buys 100,900 units at an average unit cost of $19 and sells them at an average unit price of $29. The firm also has fixed operating costs of $250,900 for the year. Caldwell's customers are demanding a 19% discount for the coming year. The company expects to sell the same amount if the demand for price reduction can be met. Caldwell's suppliers, however, are willing to give only a 14% discount.
