Customer

CaseCases

SoldSupermarkets$64  80,000  Small grocers95  45,000  Convenience stores93  30,000  

    The supermarkets require special labeling on each can costing $0.02 per can. They order through electronic data interchange (EDI), which costs Kaune about $59,000 annually in operating expenses and depreciation. Kaune delivers the nuts to the stores and stocks them on the shelves. This distribution costs $45,000 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 8 percent of sales. Bad debts expense amounts to 9 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 $12,000 per year. Frequent stops are made to each convenience store by Kaune delivery trucks at a cost of $30,000 per year.

Required:
