Rare Earth Magnet & Motor Materials worked example

Quote Margin with quoted price per magnet order of 63 value: a worked example in rare earth magnet & motor materials

Here is what the math looks like when conditions slip. We hold every other input steady and drop quoted price per magnet order to 63 value, then walk the calculation through step by step. Estimate quote margin for rare earth magnet and motor materials using production-ready inputs so teams can measure the gap between available and required amounts.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Quoted price per magnet order: 63 value (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 125)
  • Fully loaded cost per magnet order: 100 value (held at the documented default)
  • Reference base for the margin: 100 value (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Quote margin amount gap = available quote margin amount - required quote margin amount.
  • Quote margin works out to -37 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Quote margin amount gap works out to -37 value at these inputs.
  • Available quote margin amount works out to 63 value at these inputs.
  • Required quote margin amount works out to 100 value at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where quoted price per magnet order sits at 125 value and the headline result is 25 %, this scenario comes in 248% below the baseline at -37 %.
  • The practical read: the gap between this scenario and the baseline is entirely attributable to quoted price per magnet order, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. The percentage depends entirely on which reference base you pick — dividing by cost versus by price gives different numbers, so keep the base consistent across quotes.

Results at a glance

  • Quote margin: -37 % (headline result)
