EXERCISE 12A-6 Value-Based Pricing; Absorption Costing Approach to Cost-Plus Pricing LO12-8, LO12-10
Valmont Company has developed a new industrial piece of equipment called the XP-200. The company is considering two methods of establishing a selling price for the XP-200-absorption cost-plus pricing and value-based pricing.
Valmont’s cost accounting system reports an absorption unit product cost for XP-200 of $8,400. Its markup percentage on absorption cost is 85%. The company's marketing managers have expressed concerns about the use of absorption cost-plus pricing because it seems to overlook the fact that the XP-200 offers superior performance relative to the comparable piece of equipment sold by Valmont's primary competitor. More specifically the XP-200 can be used for 20,000 hours before replacement. It only requires $1,000 of preventive maintenance during its useful life and it consumes $120 of electricity’ per 1,000 hours used.
These figures compare favorably to the competing piece of equipment that sells for $15,000: needs to be replaced after 10,000 hours of use, requires $2,000 of preventive maintenance during its useful life and comes $140 of electricity per 1,000 hours used.
Required:
- If Valmont uses absorption cost-plus pricing; what price will it establish for the XP-200?
- What is XP-200's economic value to the customer (EVC) over its 20:000-hour life?
- If Valmont uses value-based pricing, what range of possible prices should it consider when setting a price for the XP-200?
- What advice would you give Valmont's managers when choosing between absorption cost-plus pricing and value-based pricing?

- Variable costing income statement and effect on income of change in operations Kimbrell Inc. manufacture three sizes of utility tablessmall (S), medium (M), and large (L). The income statement has consistently indicated a net loss for the M size, and management is considering three proposals: (1) continue Size M, (2) discontinue Size M and reduce total output accordingly, or (3) discontinue Size M and conduct an advertising campaign to expand the sales of Size S so that the entire plant capacity can continue to be used. If Proposal 2 is selected and Size M is discontinued and production curtailed, the annual fixed production costs and fixed operating expenses could be reduced by 142,500 and 28,350. respectively. If Proposal 3 is selected, it is anticipated that an additional annual expenditure of 85,050 for the salary of an assistant brand manager (classified as a fixed operating expense) would yield an additional 130% in Size S sales volume. It is also assumed that the increased production of Size S would utilize the plant facilities released by the discontinuance of Size M. The sales and costs have been relatively stable over the past few years, and they are expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. The income statement for the past year ended December 31, 20Y8, is as follows: Instructions 1. Prepare an income statement for the past year in the variable costing format. Use the following headings: Size S M L Total Data for each style should be reported through contribution margin. The fixed costs should lie deducted from the total contribution margin, as reported in the Total" column, to determine income from operations. 2. Based on the income statement prepared in (1) and the other data presented above, determine the amount by which total annual income from operations would be reduced below its present level if Proposal 2 is accepted. 3. Prepare an income statement in the variable costing format, indicating the projected annual income from operations if Proposal 3 is accepted. Use the following headings: Size S L Total Data for each style should be reported through contribution margin.
