Assume that a company has developed a new industrial component called Part A that offers superior performance relative to its competitors. The competing part sells for $1,500 and needs to be replaced after 1,500 hours of use. It also requires $400 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. Part A is similar to its competing product with two important exceptions-it needs to be replaced after 3,000 hours of use and it requires only $200 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. From a value-based pricing standpoint, what is the differentiation value offered by Part A relative to the competitor's offering for each 3.000 hours of usage? Multiple Choice $3.200 $3,600 $2.100 S700 O o o O

The Becton Enterprises (BE) produces a gasoline additive, Charger Power. This product increases engine efficiency and improves gasoline mileage by creating a more complete burn in the combustion process. Careful controls are required during the production process to ensure that the proper mix of input chemicals is achieved and that evaporation is controlled. Loss of output and efficiency may result if the controls are not effective. The standard cost of producing a 500-liter batch of Charger Power is $135. The standard materials mix and related standard cost of each chemical used in a 500-liter batch are: Chemical Std input quantity Std cost per liter Total cost Echol 200 $ 0.200 $ 40.00 Protex 100 0.425 42.50 Benz 250 0.150 37.50 CT-40 50 0.300 15.00 600 $ 135.00 The quantities of chemicals purchased and used during the current production period are shown in the schedule below.

McDermott Company developed a new industrial component called IC-75 that offers superior performance relative to the comparable component sold by McDermott's primary competitor. The competing part sells for $1,380 and needs to be replaced after 2,180 hours of use. It also requires $290 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. The IC-75's performance capabilities are similar to its competing product with two important exceptions-it needs to be replaced after 4,360 hours of use and it requires $390 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. Required: From a value-based pricing standpoint: 1. What is the reference value McDermott should consider when pricing IC-75? 2. What is the differentiation value offered by IC-75 relative the competitor's offering for each 4,360 hours of usage? 3. What is IC-75's economic value to the customer over its 4,360-hour life? 4. What range of possible prices should McDermott consider when setting a price for IC-75? 1. Reference value 2.…
Futura Company purchases the 78,000 starters that it installs in its standard line of farm tractors from a supplier for the price of $11.20 per unit. Due to a reduction in output, the company now has idle capacity that could be used to produce the starters rather than buying them from an outside supplier. However, the company's chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the production cost per unit is $12.00 as shown below: Direct materials Direct labor Supervision Depreciation Variable manufacturing overhead Rent Total product cost Per Unit $ 5.00 2.80 2.00 1.30 0.40 0.50 $ 12.00 Total $ 156,000 $ 101,400 $ 39,000 If Futura decides to make the starters, a supervisor would have to be hired (at a salary of $156,000) to oversee production. However, the company has sufficient idle tools and machinery such that no new equipment would have to be purchased. The rent charge above is based on space utilized in the plant. The total rent on the plant is $86,000 per period.…

Jireh Limited also manufactures prefab components for the housing industry. They have just been offered a new four year contract to supply a component, subject to them meeting certain quality requirements set by GREDA Ghana. The production manager is concerned that the current machine, which has been fully depreciated, will not be able to meet the stringent quality controls that will be required because the technology is obsolete, and the machine is unreliable. The company currently spends £50,000 per year to maintain and operate this machine which has no secondhand market value. On the basis of the production managerʼs recommendation, management has decided to replace the current machine. It is estimated that the replacement machine will cost £1 million with a four-year useful life. The companyʼs depreciation policy is to use a 20% reducing balance method over the life of the asset. As part of the purchase agreement for the new machine, the suppliers are offering a special maintenance…
