Customer profitability, customer-cost hierarchy. Enviro-Tech has only two retail and two wholesale customers. Information relating to each customer for 2017 follows (in thousands):
Enviro-Tech’s annual distribution-channel costs are $33 million for wholesale customers and $12 million for retail customers. The company’s annual corporate-sustaining costs, such as salary for top management and general-administration costs are $48 million. There is no cause-and-effect or benefits-received relationship between any cost-allocation base and corporate-sustaining costs. That is, Enviro-Tech could save corporate-sustaining costs only if the company completely shuts down.
