Transformers, Coils & Magnetics Manufacturing worked example

Quote Margin with quoted price per coil of 63 units: a worked example in transformers, coils & magnetics manufacturing

This worked example runs the quote margin numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: quoted price per coil of 63 units instead of the typical 125 units. Quote Margin is the profit a transformer or magnetics shop keeps on a coil job after subtracting fully loaded cost from the quoted price.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Quoted price per coil: 63 units (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 125)
  • Fully loaded cost per coil: 100 units (held at the documented default)
  • Price basis for margin percent: 100 units (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Quote Margin margin = available value - required value.
  • Margin works out to -37 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Absolute margin works out to -37 value at these inputs.
  • Available amount works out to 63 value at these inputs.
  • Required 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 coil sits at 125 units and the headline result is 25 %, this scenario comes in 248% below the baseline at -37 %.
  • Use it while building or reviewing a quote, comparing margin across coil jobs, or checking a proposed price against a margin floor. 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

  • Margin: -37 % (headline result)
