On Product Price Class Changes
Background
All Murphy products (and associated part numbers) are assigned a price class (i.e. Class C, R, K). Customers have a discount off list price based on these price classes.
As we continue to refine our product focus, the need has arisen to add two new classes (IN and S) and allocate affected products to these new classes. Since many of our customers (particularly dealers) are familiar with the existing price classes, we wanted to provide information on products affected by these changes.
Existing and New Price Classes
Seven (7) classes exist today (C, CE, J, K, N, R, W). On January 15, 2007, two new classes (IN and S) will be added. Some items will be moving from the existing R class to IN. Others will move from the existing C (or W) class to S. List prices for these items will remain the same.
A few products are moving from Class C to IN (or Class R to C). This requires a list price change due to the difference in discounts for these classes. The list price will be raised (or lowered) as needed to compensate for the discount difference.
All of these changes initially should have minimal or no affect on the final selling price to our customers. However, pricing will be affected by any future list price changes (one has been announced effective February 19, 2007) or account discount changes, as the need arises.
