Battery Pack Option Cost at 69% option take rate: a worked example

This scenario runs the battery pack option cost calculation on the strong side: 69% option take rate, with every other input held at its documented default. a battery equipment or product team needs to cost a battery pack option for a cordless mower, trimmer, or blower build or quote

The inputs for this scenario

  • Battery packs in build: 1,000 packs (unchanged)
  • Landed cost per battery pack: 85 $ / pack (unchanged)
  • Option take rate: 69 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 60)
  • Fixed battery program cost: 12,000 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable battery pack cost = battery packs in build × landed cost per battery pack × option take rate) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 70,650 $ for total battery pack option cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 70.65 $ / piece for battery pack option cost per unit.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 58,650 $ for variable battery pack cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 12,000 $ for fixed battery program cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where option take rate sits at 60% and the headline result is 63,000 $, this scenario comes in 12.14% above the baseline at 70,650 $.
  • Use it during option pricing, program approval, or a make-versus-buy review when you need the fully loaded cost of offering a battery configuration on a platform. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
