Pump, Compressor & Rotating Equipment Assembly worked example

Quote Margin with quoted price per assembled unit of 310 units: a worked example in pump, compressor & rotating equipment assembly

Push quoted price per assembled unit up to 310 units and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when quote margin in pump, compressor and rotating equipment assembly needs a clean margin number for a pump, compressor and rotating equipment assembly go / no-go review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Quoted price per assembled unit: 310 units (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 125)
  • Fully loaded cost per assembled unit: 100 units (unchanged)
  • Reference basis for margin percent: 100 units (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Quote Margin margin = available value - required value) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 % for margin, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 value for absolute margin.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 310 value for available amount.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 100 value for required amount.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where quoted price per assembled unit sits at 125 units and the headline result is 25 %, this scenario comes in 740% above the baseline at 210 %.
  • It computes the margin between quoted price and loaded cost, both as an absolute dollar figure and as a percentage of a reference basis. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
