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 $10,400. 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 29,000 hours before replacement. It only requires $3,000 of preventive maintenance during its useful life and it consumes $220 of electricity per 1,450 hours used These figures compare favorably to the competing piece of equipment that sells for $29,000, needs to be replaced after 14,500 hours of use, requires $6,000 of preventive maintenance during its useful life, and consumes $260 of electricity per 1,450 hours used.
