Price comparisons

Unfinished wood kitchen cabinets can sometimes be found at attractive prices. Before making a price comparison, the planner should determine the cost of finishing, which could be considerable. The unfinished cabinets usually come without hardware, which can add a great deal to the price if purchased separately. 

However, the disadvantage is that price comparison is easy and buyers in farmers markets are more bargain conscious than customers who visit individual farm locations. Also the farmer will have to take time away from production operations on the farm.

With current demands for higher cycles, the use and reuse of variable quality makeup water sources, and strong competitive pressures from water treatment service companies, these indices are, unfortunately, increasingly being used as primary evidence to customers in justifications for change, program effectiveness, or price comparisons. 

A key component of analyzing the external environment is to identify and gauge potential competitors. The goal of the competitor analysis is to understand the characteristics of other providers so that the business can be positioned favorably compared with competitors. Data about competitors sometimes are difficult to obtain. Surveys of customers, price comparisons, and publicly available information (i.e., Web sites) should be investigated. 

There are seven primary materials from which O-rings are made. Table 1.9 catalogs these different materials, listing suitable and unsuitable chemical contacts and properties for each. Also included is a single O-ring price comparison (these 1991 prices are not meant to be absolute and are only offered to provide comparison).

Organic kiwifruit production (see Table 13.5) is an excellent example of price comparisons and the increase in production of organic compared to conventional. Graeme Crawshaw, organic kiwifruit grower on the OPEG executive said in November 1999, The total New Zealand kiwifruit export market is worth in excess of 700 million per year and it is estimated that up to 5% will be certified organic in 2000. ... 

In Xuezhong Du etal. (2001), Japanese Aciplex and Flemion and Chinese Shanghai alternatives to Nafion are compared with Nafion in terms of their performance, and none is overwhelming. The latter alternatives have not yet caught on in the international scene. Price comparison is not made available.

The M S Index and the CE Index can also be used for world-price comparison, if the changes in costs according to the local economics, type of industry, and kind of equipment (besides time) are accounted for [19].

Determing the price of a product which is not on the market can be achieved by utilizing price comparison with imported products on a nutrient basis. For multiple nutrient products, new product prices can be determined by calculating the price based on imported component materials. For example, the price of a new multinutrient -produGt-4 -25i -Gan-be-determined as follows ... 

If a reacted form of SO2 is chosen, local availability and price will be major factors in the decision. In a price comparison of the sulfite reagents, it should be remembered that some of the apparent premium cost of sulfite or bisulfite is associated with the caustic that is combined with SO2. As the equations above show, SO2, in becoming in alkaline brine, abstracts that same caustic from solution and loses some of its apparent advantage. 

It is common that steam turbines are connected to steam headers. Therefore, it is logical to take power generation into account when steam price is determined. In reality, when the turbine is offline while the motor is online to run the rotating equipment, the power is imported but fuel for steam is saved. On the other hand, when the turbine is turned online while the motor is offline, import power is saved but at the expense of fuel for steam. To reflect the relative price comparison of fuel and power, the price equivalent efflciency (PEE) for power generation is defined as the price ratio ... 

To reflect the relative price comparison of fuel and power, the concept of price equivalent efficiency (PEE) for power generation defined in Section 17.5 is used here to express the price ratio of fuel to power ... 

Regardless of the category or end application, price is always a consideration. Although a premium price can be leveraged for aerospace and defense applications, the end users will require a budgetary restraint. For the best price comparison within various technology platforms, it is typically helpful to express all metrics in terms of the cost unit ( ) per power (Watts ) and energy (Joules ) units.
