Study Notes
Cost-Based Pricing
- Cost-based pricing: determines the total cost of producing one unit of a product (fixed cost + variable cost) and adds expected profit
- Markup: an amount a seller adds to the cost of the product to get the selling price
- Formula:
Markup Price = (1 - Desired Return on Sales)
Break-Even Analysis
- Break-even analysis: calculates the number of units that must be sold to break even on the cost of making and marketing a product
- Formula:
Break-Even Volume = Fixed Costs / (Price - Variable Cost)
Types of Costs
- Fixed Costs: costs that do not vary with production or sales level
- Variable Costs: costs that vary directly with the level of production
- Total Costs: the sum of fixed and variable costs for any given level of production
Demand-Based Pricing
- Demand-based pricing: based on the level of customer demand for the product
- Higher price when demand is strong, lower price when demand is weak
Competition-Based Pricing
- Competition-based pricing: based on meeting the challenge of competitors' prices in markets
- Must include information specified by federal regulations, such as brand name, package size, ingredient contents, and more
