Hey Everyone,

How are you all going at restating your financial statements?

Here are 5 very different products or Siemens, their selling price, variable cost and contribution margin. Along with a description of each product.


1.       8kg Front Load Siemens Washing Machine WM16Y890AU

The Siemens washing machine is a home appliance that Siemens produces for their buyers. They aim to have high quality, manufacturing each model to suit the customer’s needs. Each washing machine will have a model number, for example: WM16Y890AU, the brand is Siemens, the warranty is approximately five years, and each will have an energy and water rating, generally around four and five. Other features that the washing machine will include is the colour and the capacity of each wash, say 8kg. The washing machine is a part of Siemens consumer products in their home appliances section.
 
Selling Price:       $2699
Variable Cost:    $1260
Contribution Margin = SP – VC
                                     = 2699 – 1260
                                     = $1439
 
2.       Siemens Wind Turbines
Siemens manufactures wind turbines to generate energy for millions of households, businesses and factories. They may complete some of these projects within the company or in a partnership with others. The wind turbines can be sold and managed by others once Siemens has completed manufacturing them. Wind turbines have been sold in large quantities to reduce the high price, it seems similar to buying things in bulk. Wind power is a natural source and will help create energy at the cost of purchasing the wind turbine. The wind turbines are a part of Siemens Energy sector.
 
 
Selling Price       =$3 000 000  
Variable Cost     = $2 300 000 x 0.8
                                =$1 840 000        
Contribution Margin= SP – VC
                                        = $3 000 000 – $1 840 000
                                        = $1 160 000
 
3.       Siemens Hearing Aids
The Siemens Hearing Aids are manufactured by Siemens are sold to retailers to sell to the public, or some may be sold directly from Siemens. Although hearing aids are small they require many feature to enable them to work. Siemens hearing aids are a part of the healthcare sector, referred to as hearing instruments in their consumer products.
Selling Price        = $2499
Variable Cost     =0.7 x 1666
                                =$1166.20
Contribution Margin = SP – VC
                                         = 2499 – 1166.2
                                         = $1332.80
4.       Box cameras - 1/3" Wide Dynamic, 3MP, IP box camera
Siemens manufactures surveillance cameras of all sorts to ensure businesses and households can feel safe. The 3 MP full-HD IP camera combines the requirements of classic analogue CCTV cameras with the high performance, flexibility and IT security of a modern video-over-IP device. The camera CCMW3025 includes a back-focus adjustment algorithm that simplifies the setup of lens back-focus to ensure crisp video pictures day and night. This camera can be easily integrated into 3rd party systems. The compact design and the available range of accessories is an ideal fit even for stylish environments.  The box cameras are a part of the building technologies sector, also referred to as electrical installation systems in consumer products.
Selling Price = $300
Variable Cost = 0.7 x 200
                         = $140
Contribution Margin = SP – VC
                                      = 300 – 140
                                      = $160
5.       Gamma building control – energy-efficient building and room automation
Gamma building control from Siemens offers intelligent solutions and services to maximize energy efficiency and comfort in buildings. The product optimize the control of lighting, shading, heating and cooling in rooms and buildings. Siemens have created this innovative technology to provide customers with more room and comfort along with providing energy-efficiency. The gamma building control is a part of Siemens Automation product sector and control systems.
Selling Price = $2500
Variable Cost = 0.7 x 1666
                          = $1166.20
Contribution Margin = SP – VC
                                      = 2500 – 1166.20
                                      = $1333.80
 
Siemens produce and manufacture many different products, so I tried to find a product from each sector that Siemens has to show the variety of the business.
