McDermott Company developed a new industrial component called IC-75 that offers superior performance relative to the comparable component sold by McDermott's primary competitor. The competing part sells for $1.320 and needs to be replaced after 2,120 hours of use. It also requires $260 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. The IC-75's performance capabilities are similar to its competing product with two important exceptions-it needs to be replaced after 4,240 hours of use and it requires $360 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. Required: From a value-based pricing standpoint: 1. What is the reference value McDermott should consider when pricing IC-75? 2. What is the differentiation value offered by IC-75 relative the competitor's offering for each 4.240 hours of usage? 3. What is IC-75's economic value to the customer over its 4,240-hour life? 4. What range of possible prices should McDermott consider when setting a price for IC-75? 1. Reference value 2 Differentiation value 3. Economic value to the customer 4. Range of possible prices Value-based price.
