Attachment A
Products and Pricing Formula
Products
All products related to the Device including but not limited to succeeding generations of the Device.
Pricing Formula:
Unit Price equals the sum of Material Cost + Labor Cost divided by the Gross Margin Factor,
where:
Material Cost is the sum of direct material cost + incoming freight cost + scrap (2% of landed material cost) + material overhead (15% of the sum of the previous items);
Labor Cost is calculated at the following rates:
$55/man hour for assembly, testing, inspection, set-up and utility labor
$55/man hour for 75 ton press time (automatic)
$63/man hour for 150 ton press time (automatic)
$76/man hour for 300 ton press time (automatic)
If operator is required at molding press, add $26/man hour. Assumed yield is 95%.
If a clean room is required, add 20% to the labor rate.
These labor rates will be adjusted each January 1 during the term of the Agreement by the annual change in the United States Consumer Price Index for all Urban Centers (CPI-U);
and
Gross Margin Factor is .85
Engineering and Tooling
Engineering Assistance (if requested by LD) will be charged at $125/hour plus reasonable expenses (including travel). Tooling and special assembly and test equipment will carry a 20% markup over installed costs to cover management and engineering related to the tooling.
