Cumberland Case Study

Cumberland Case Study How much do you think one of these pads is worth to a customer? Does the test data tell you anything about this? Colerick paid $1000 for the 480 asbestos pads that were required for the job, only sixof the CMI pads were needed to complete the job. Fazio paid $2000 for the 600 required pads, and only needed five CMI pads for their job. As the CMI pads cut the drive time down by 33%, Colerick should be willing to pay the same amount of money for the CMI pads asthey did for the asbestos pads. If the price were $1000 for six pads then each pad would be $166.67 for Colerick. Fazio used five of the CMI pads and they paid $2000 for the asbestos pads, therefore the price per CMI pad would be $400 per pad. See table 1 With all of these factors in making the decision to purchase the CMI pads, I would believe that the pads would be worth significantly more to the contractors than the asbestos pads would ever be due to the time saved on the projects. To put a monetary value on the pads would be like trying to distinguish a price on the health and safety of a human life. Table 1 How big is the market? What kind of opportunity is out there? Table 2 What price would you charge for the curled metal pads? To help determine a price for each CMI pad, the consumer value must be factored in. The first test, at the Colerick site, proved that by using the CMI pads there was a potential savings of $5410.76. Dividing the savings by the number of CMI pads used will give an approximate consumer value of $902. I would charge $900 to begin for the 11.5” pads. What are the benefits and problems in charging a low price or a high price? Look at this question from both a company and customer point of view? Is it more important to make high profits or build market share? Discuss concepts on pricing strategies (value pricing verses cost based
