## APPENDIX A. DETAILED DATA FOR EQUIPMENT PRICE MARKUPS

A.1 INTRODUCTION

**This appendix**  **provides further**  **details on**  **information presented**  **in Chapter**  **6,**

**markups for**  **equipment price**  **determination.**

A.2 DETAILED WHOLESALER COST DATA

**Based on**  **data provided**  **in the**  2005 Profit Report (2004 Data) **of the**  **Heating**

**Air­conditioning &**  **Refrigeration Distributors**  **International (HARDI),**  **Table X.3.1**  **of**

**Chapter 7,**  **section X.3,**  Estimation of Wholesale Mark­ups **shows wholesaler**  **revenues**

**and costs**  **in aggregated**  **form.**

**Table A.2.1**  **below provides**  **the complete**  **breakdown of**  **costs and**  **expenses as** 

**provided in**  **the** 2005 Profit Report (2004 Data)

**. The**  **column labeled**  **“Scaling” in** 

**Table A.2.1**  **indicates which**  **expenses the**  **U.S. Department**  **of Energy**  **(DOE)**

**assumed to**  **scale with**  **only the**  **baseline markup**  **and which**  **it scaled**  **with both**  **the**

**baseline and**  **incremental markups.**  **As described**  **in Chapter**  **7, section**  **X.3, only**  **those**

**expenses that**  **scale with**  **baseline and**  **incremental costs**  **are marked­up**  **when there**  **is an** 

**incremental change**  **in equipment**  **costs.**

## A.3 DETAILED MECHANICAL CONTRACTOR DATA

**Based on**  **data in**  **the 2005**  **edition of**  **Financial Analysis**  **for the**  **HVACR**

**Contracting** Industry, **published by**  **the Air**  **Conditioning Contractors**  **of America** 

**(ACCA), Tables**  **X.4.1, X.4.2,**  **and X.4.3**  **of Chapter**  **7, section**  **X.4,** Estimation of

Mechanical Contractor Markups **provide mechanical**  **contractor revenues**  **and costs**  **in**

**aggregated form**  **by ‘Cost**  **of Goods**  **Sold’ and**  **‘Gross Margin.’**  **The** Financial Analysis

**report did**  **not provide**  **a more**  **disaggregate tabulation**  **of these**  **costs and**  **expenses. As**  **in**

**section A.2,**  **the gross**  **margin category**  **was assumed**  **to scale**  **only with**  **the baseline** 

**markup.**

**A­2**

## The **more disaggregated**  **breakdown of**  **costs used**  **to scale**  **the incremental**  **markup**

**are shown**  **in Table**  **A.3.1 by**  **both dollar**  **value and**  **percentage terms.**  **As the**  **ACCA data** 

**were used**  **to calculate**  **the baseline**  **markup, only**  **the categories**  **in the**  **‘Scaling’ column** 

**that scaled**  **with both**  **the baseline**  **and incremental**  **markups are**  **marked.**

**Cost of**  **materials, components,**  **and supplies**  **$37,813,136 32.21%** 

**Payroll, construction**  **workers $25,619,932**  **21.83%**

**Cost of**  **construction work**  **subcontracted out**  **to others**  **$12,462,622 10.62%** 

**Cost of**  **selected power,**  **fuels, and**  **lubricants $1,587,045**  **1.35%**

**Detailed Statistics**  **for Establishments:**  **2002.**

**Note: General**  **contractor costs**  **and expenses**  **are first**  **presented as**  total dollar **values and**  **than converted**  **to** percentage **values. This**  **is**

**in contrast**  **to the**  per dollar of sales revenue **values shown**  **in Table**  **X.4.4.**



## A.4 DETAILED GENERAL CONTRACTOR COST DATA

**Based on**  **U.S. Department**  **of Census**  **data, Table**  **X.5.1 of**  **Chapter 7,**  **section X.5,** 

General Contractor Expenses and Markups **shows general**  **contractor revenues**  **and costs** 

**in aggregated**  **form. Table**  **A.4.1 below**  **shows the**  **complete breakdown**  **of costs**  **and**

**expenses provided**  **by the**  **U.S. Department**  **of Census.**  **The column**  **labeled “Scaling”**  **in**

**Table A.2.1**  **indicates which**  **expenses DOE**  **assumed to**  **scale with**  **only the** 

**baseline markup**  **and which**  **scaled with**  **both the**  **baseline and**  **incremental markups.**  **As**

**described in**  **Chapter 7,**  **section X.3,**  **only those**  **expenses that**  **scale with**  **baseline and** 

**incremental costs**  **are marked­up**  **when there**  **is an**  **incremental change**  **in equipment**  **costs.**

**DOE defined**  **the relative**  **standard deviation**  **as the**  **standard deviation**  **as a**  **percent**

**of the**  **baseline markup.**  **The wholesaler**  **relative standard**  **deviation is**  **8.6 percent,**  **the**

**general contractor**  **relative standard**  **deviation is**  **9.0 percent,**  **and the**  **mechanical**

**contractor for**  **residential and**  **light commercial**  **construction is**  **7.9 percent**  **of their** 

**respective baseline**  **markups. The**  **fact that**  **the mechanical**  **contractor relative**  **standard**

**deviation is**  **7.9 percent**  **of the**  **baseline markup**  **implies that**  **the standard**  **deviation for**  **the**

**replacement and**  **new markets,**  **relative to**  **their respective**  **baseline markups,**  **is also**  **3.1**

**percent.**

**A­3**

## DOE **also assumed**  **that wholesaler,**  **general contractor,**  **and mechanical**  **contractor**

**incremental markups**  **have the**  **same relative**  **standard deviation**  **as wholesaler,**  **general**

**contractor, and**  **mechanical contractor**  **baseline markups.**  **It used**  **this assumption**  **to**

**calculate the**  **standard deviation**  **of wholesaler,**  **general contractor,**  **and mechanical** 

**contractor incremental**  **markups.**

## A.5 ESTIMATION OF WHOLESALER AND CONTRACTOR MARK­UP

STANDARD DEVIATIONS

**DOE used**  **U.S. Census**  **survey data**  **to estimate**  **PTAC/PTHP equipment** 

**wholesaler, general**  **contractor, and**  **mechanical contractor**  **markup distributions.**  **In the** 

**case of**  **wholesalers, survey**  **data were**  **available only**  **at the**  **national level.**  **In the**  **case of** 

**mechanical and**  **general contractors,**  **the survey**  **data include**  **state­level heating,** 

**ventilating, and**  **air­conditioning (HVAC)**  **total value**  **of work,**  **number of**  **firms, cost**  **of**

**goods sold,**  **cost of**  **subcontract work,**  **cost of**  **materials, and**  **construction payroll**  **as shown** 

**in Table**  **A.5.2 and**  **Table A.5.3.** 

**DOE estimated**  **the size**  **of the**  **baseline markup**  **distribution from**  **the standard** 

**deviation of**  **across­state markups.**  **The wholesale**  **markup standard**  **deviation is**  **0.06, the** 

**general contractor**  **markup standard**  **deviation is**  **0.07, and**  **the mechanical**  **contractor**

**markup standard**  **deviation is**  **0.06. DOE**  **assumed that**  **new construction**  **and replacement** 

**market mechanical**  **contractor markups**  **have the**  **same relative**  **standard deviation**  **as that** 

**developed from**  **the baseline**  **markups for**  **all contractors.**
