Step 5—ARTC calculates the combined pricing differentiation factor to apply to Indicative Services other than the benchmark Indicative Service in each Pricing Zone The combined differentiation factors are calculated as follows: Table 19: Combined overall differentiation factors Fixed Coal Chain Network Overall Maintenance Capacity Capacity In Pricing Zone 1 Indicative Service 1 = 0.1150 / = 0.4425 / = 0.4425 / 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 96 wagon 30 TAL train Indicative Service 2 = 0.1150 / = 0.4425 / = 0.4425 / 1.118 1.000 0.900 0.866 82 wagon 30 TAL train In Pricing Zone 2 Indicative Service 1 = 0.1765 / = 0.4117 / = 0.4117 / 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 96 wagon 30 TAL train In Pricing Zone 3 Indicative Service 1 = 0.1066 / = 0.4467 / = 0.4467 / 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 82 wagon 30 TAL train Steps 6 and 7—ARTC calculates the TOP component of charges by applying the combined pricing differentiation factors to 2014 Indicative Service access charges and then adjusts the TOP component of charges so that expected revenue is close to Economic Cost in Pricing Zones 1 and 2 and achieves maximum recovery of Economic Cost in Pricing Zone 3. The ACCC notes that the percentage adjustment factor applied by ARTC is relevant for the Indicative Access Charges in the 2015 calendar year, however, may not be relevant or subject to change in subsequent years. Pricing Zone 1 Indicative Service 1 (96 wagon 30 TAL) – The 2014 TOP component for Pricing Zone 1 Indicative Service 1 (96 wagon 30 TAL) is used as the starting point and then an overall differentiation factor is applied An adjustment of [c-i-c] per cent is then applied to align revenue with Economic Cost and that forms the Indicative Access Charge for 2015.
Step 5—ARTC calculates the combined pricing differentiation factor to apply to Indicative Services other than the benchmark Indicative Service in each Pricing Zone The combined differentiation factors are calculated as follows: Table 19: Combined overall differentiation factors Fixed Maintenance Coal Chain Capacity Network Capacity Overall In Pricing Zone 1 Indicative Service 1 96 wagon 30 TAL train = 0.1150 / 1.000 = 0.4425 / 1.000 = 0.4425 / 1.000 1.000 Indicative Service 2 82 wagon 30 TAL train = 0.1150 / 1.000 = 0.4425 / 0.900 = 0.4425 / 0.866 1.118 In Pricing Zone 2 Indicative Service 1 96 wagon 30 TAL train = 0.1765 / 1.000 = 0.4117 / 1.000 = 0.4117 / 1.000 1.000 In Pricing Zone 3 Indicative Service 1 82 wagon 30 TAL train = 0.1066 / 1.000 = 0.4467 / 1.000 = 0.4467 / 1.000 1.000 Steps 6 and 7—ARTC calculates the TOP component of charges by applying the combined pricing differentiation factors to 2014 Indicative Service access charges and then adjusts the TOP component of charges so that expected revenue is close to Economic Cost in Pricing Zones 1 and 2 and achieves maximum recovery of Economic Cost in Pricing Zone 3. The ACCC notes that the percentage adjustment factor applied by ARTC is relevant for the Indicative Access Charges in the 2015 calendar year, however, may not be relevant or subject to change in subsequent years. Pricing Zone 1 – Indicative Service 1 (96 wagon 30 TAL) The 2014 TOP component for Pricing Zone 1 Indicative Service 1 (96 wagon 30 TAL) is used as the starting point and then an overall differentiation factor is applied An adjustment of [c-i-c] per cent is then applied to align revenue with Economic Cost and that forms the Indicative Access Charge for 2015.
