Schimpf Industries Inc. has developed a new grinder, model WC-13, that is designed to offer superior performance to a comparable grinder sold by Schimpf's main competitor. The competing grinder sells for $70,000 and needs to be replaced after 4,100 hours of use. It also requires $8,200 of preventive maintenance during its useful Model WC-13's performance capabilities are similar to the competing product with two important exceptions-it needs to be replaced only after 16,400 hours of use and it requires $20,500 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. From a value-based pricing standpoint what range of possible prices should Schimpf consider when setting a price for model WC-13?

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.…
Consider a drill press containing three drill bits. The current policy (called individual replacement) is to replace a drill bit when it fails. The firm is considering changing to a block replacement policy in which all three drillbits are replaced whenever a single drill bit fails. Each time the drill press is shut down, the cost is $100. A drill bit costs $50, and the variable cost of replacing a drill bit is $10. Assume that the time to replace a drill bit isnegligible. Also, assume that the time until failure for a drill bit follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 100 hours. This can be modeled in @RISK with the formula 5RISKEXPON (100). (Note: If you have the academic version of @RISK, this problem will require more RISKEXPON functions than the 100 allowed, but there is an easy workaround. An exponentially distributed random variable can be generated with Excel functions only using the formula =-Mean*LN(RAND()). Then @RISK can still be used to run the simulation.)…
Signal mistakenly produced 1,025 defective cell phones. The phones cost $67 each to produce. A salvage company will buy the defective phones as they are for $30 each. It would cost Signal $84 per phone to rework the phones. If the phones are reworked. Signal could sell them for $144 each. Signal has excess capacity. Should Signal scrap or rework the phones?

White Sand Quarries is planning to replace a few of their existing MD48 haul trucks and has asked for your help in deciding between the MD64 and the MD48 trucks. Joey at the truck dealership is convinced that hauling with the larger MD64 produces a cheaper unit cost ($/ton). There are several differences in the trucks and you are not quite sure he is correct. You've spoken with Mike, who looks after the existing fleet of MD48S and has great records on equipment cost and performance. From him you learn that the MD48 has a 48 ton capacity and can complete a full cycle in 10 minutes. He also tells you that he operates a truck in his fleet for $150.91 per hour, which he proudly explains is better than any other fleet in the company and includes the company standard 10 percent interest paid annually on the book value. Joey is trying hard to make a sale and is happy to help you gather info on the MD64S. After a long phone chat, you have the following information. MD64 Purchase Price $…
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…
Safe Travel produces car seats for children from newborn to 2 years old. The company is worried because one of its competitors has recently come under public scrutiny because of product failure. Historically, Safe Travel's only problem with its car seats was stitching in the straps. The problem can usually be detected and repaired during an internal inspection. The cost of the inspection is $5.00 per car seat, and the repair cost is $1.00 per car seat. All 200,000 car seats were inspected last year, and 5% were found to have problems with the stitching in the straps during the internal inspection. Another 1% of the 200,000 car seats had problems with the stitching, but the internal inspection did not discover them. Defective units that were sold and shipped to customers needed to be shipped back to Safe Travel and repaired. Shipping costs are $8.00 per car seat, and repair costs are $1.00 per car seat. However, the out-of-pocket costs (shipping and repair) are not the only costs of…
