Calculate Deco's operating income for 2019.
For 2020, retailers are demanding a 6% discount off the 2019 price. Deco's suppliers are only
willing to give a 5% discount. Deco expects to sell the same quantity of marble tiles in 2020 as
in 2019. If all other costs and cost-driver information remain the same, calculate Deco's
operating income for 2020.
Suppose further that Deco decides to make changes in its ordering and receiving-and-storing
practices. By placing long-run orders with its key suppliers, Deco expects to reduce the
number of orders to 200 and the cost per order to $40 per order. By redesigning the layout of
the warehouse and reconfiguring the crates in which the marble tiles are moved, Deco expects
to reduce the number of loads moved to 4,125 and the cost per load moved to $58. Will Deco
achieve its target operating income of $1.96 per tile in 2020? Show your calculations.
