A & B Pty Ltd provides repair services for handphones and
laptops for three major retailers. The service involves
manufacturer warranty repairs and extended warranty repairs on all
major brands of handphones and laptops on the market.
The company’s repair costs consist of the cost of technicians
and equipment that are traceable to each customer, and a pool of
office overhead. Until recently, management at the company
estimated customer profitability by allocating the office overhead
to each customer based on share of revenues.
The management accountant at that time reported the following
results for the financial year ended 30 June 2022:

The company's newly appointed management accountant notes that
office overhead is more than 10% of total costs, so he spends two
weeks analysing the consumption of office overhead resources by
customer. He compiles the following information:

Using the new information that the management accountant has
compiled above, analyse customer-level operating profit and
cumulative customer-profitabiility as follows:
a) Calculate profitability by customer showing detail
line-by-line
b) Create a customer ranking table
c) Create some useful tables and visualisations of your data
