It is currently deciding which of two suppliers to use: Alpha or Beta. Due to differences in the product failure rates in the two companies, 5% of motherboards purchased from Alpha will be inspected and 25% of motherboards purchased from Beta will be inspected. The following data refer to costs associated with Alpha and Beta:
| Alpha | Beta | |
| Number of orders per year | 50 | 50 |
| Annual motherboards demanded | 10,000 | 10,000 |
| Price per motherboard | $108 | $105 |
| Ordering cost per order | $13 | $10 |
| inspection cost per unit | $6 | $6 |
| Average inventory level | 100 units | 100 units |
| Expected number of stockouts | 100 | 300 |
| Stockout cost (cost of rush order) per stockout | $4 | $6 |
| Units returned by customers for replacing motherboards | 50 | 500 |
| Cost of replacing each motherboard | $30 | $30 |
| Required annual |
10% | 10% |
| Other carrying cost per unit per year | $3.50 | $3.50 |

What factors other than cost should Peach consider?
Customer profitability in a manufacturing firm. Mississippi Manufacturing makes a component called B2040. This component is manufactured only when ordered by a customer, so Mississippi keeps no inventory of B2040.

Currently, the salespeople decide whether an order is large enough to qualify for the discount. When the product is finished, it is packed in cases of 10. If the component needs to be exchanged or repaired, customers can come back within 14 days for free exchange or repair.
The full cost of manufacturing a unit of B2040 is $95. In addition, Mississippi incurs customer-level costs. Customer-level cost-driver rates are:
