Heat Exchanger, Coil & Radiator Manufacturing worked example

Quote Price at 58% margin and pricing capture factor: a worked example in heat exchanger, coil & radiator manufacturing

Suppose margin and pricing capture factor falls to 58%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Build a heat exchanger, coil, or radiator quote price from quoted units, base cost or target value per unit, pricing capture factor, and fixed commercial cost.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Quoted heat exchanger units: 100 units (held at the documented default)
  • Base cost or price per unit: 45 $ / unit (held at the documented default)
  • Margin and pricing capture factor: 58 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 80)
  • Fixed quote adders and tooling: 250 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Calculated quote price = quoted units × base price or cost per unit × pricing capture factor + fixed quote adders.
  • Calculated quote price works out to 2,860 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Quote price per unit works out to 28.6 $ / piece at these inputs.
  • Captured unit price basis works out to 2,610 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed quote adders works out to 250 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where margin and pricing capture factor sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 25.71% below the baseline at 2,860 $.
  • It computes a total quoted price for a batch of heat exchangers and the resulting quote price per unit. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.
