Distributor A- Gross profit = $5million-$2million= $3million
Distributor B- GP= $4million-$2million=$2million
Distributor C- GP= $3million-$4million=-$1million(Net Loss)
Distributor D- GP= $2million-$4million=-$2million(Net Loss)
Distributor E- GP= $7million-$5million=$2million
Distributor F- GP= $1million-$6million=-$5million(Net Loss)
1. The distributors serving which serves as a net loss for the manufacturer should not be served. All the distribitors which give positive gross profit should be served.
2. The regions served should be - A,B, E
3. Total Gross Profit= $3million + $2 Million +$2 Million = $7 Million
4. The least Profitable is Distributor E as the Gross Profit/Cost ratio is the lowest in its case. The marginal benefit = $2 million and marginal cost =$5million
5. Based on same concept as above
6. As this fee is a cost that the manufacturer cannot avoid if he wants to get into business, he should include it into his gross profit calculation.
Gross Profit considering only 1 year operation= $ 7million - $ 5 million= $ 2 million----->lower than before
But this cost would be capitalized across years of operation so this cannot be directly taken into calculation
