Cryogenic Storage & LNG Equipment worked example

Cryogenic Quote Margin with proposed cryogenic quote value of 63 $: a worked example

This worked example runs the cryogenic quote margin numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: proposed cryogenic quote value of 63 $ instead of the typical 125 $. Calculate margin gap for a cryogenic equipment quote from proposed sell price, estimated cost, and quote revenue basis.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Proposed cryogenic quote value: 63 $ (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 125)
  • Estimated quote cost: 100 $ (held at the documented default)
  • Quote value basis for margin: 100 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Quote gross margin dollars = proposed cryogenic quote value − estimated quote cost.
  • Cryogenic quote margin works out to -37 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Quote gross margin dollars works out to -37 value at these inputs.
  • Proposed quote value works out to 63 value at these inputs.
  • Estimated quote cost works out to 100 value at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where proposed cryogenic quote value sits at 125 $ and the headline result is 25 %, this scenario comes in 248% below the baseline at -37 %.
  • Use it on each draft of an LNG or cryogenic storage proposal and after every cost change from materials, fabrication, or vacuum-insulation work. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Cryogenic quote margin: -37 % (headline result)
  • Quote gross margin dollars: -37 value
  • Proposed quote value: 63 value
  • Estimated quote cost: 100 value
