• Variable costs: costs that vary directly with the level of production
• Total costs: sum of fixed and variable costs

New-Product Pricing
• Market skimming pricing: setting a high price to skim maximum revenues layer by layer from the segments willing to pay the high price
• Market penetration pricing: setting a low price for a new product to attract a large number of buyers and achieve a large market share

The Price-Demand Relationship
• Demand curve: a curve that shows the number of units the market will buy at different possible prices in a given time period
• Calculated as the % change in quantity demanded divided by the % change in price; values >1 and <-1 are elastic
• Elastic products: lower price to maximize revenue
• Inelastic products: raise price to maximize revenue
• Prestige goods behave in a contrary fashion

General Pricing Approaches
• Cost-based pricing: adding a standard markup to the cost of the product; using formula:
– Average unit cost equals variable cost plus (fixed cost/unit sales)
– Markup price equals Unit cost/(1 minus desired return on sales)
– Example: $10 + ($300,000/50,000) = $16
– Selling price based on 20%: $16/(1 - .20) = $20
– Double-check: $4 profit/selling price = 20% profit margin
Figure 12.5• Note: multiplying
$16 by 1.2 equals a selling price of $19.20, and a profit margin of only 17%

Break-even Chart
• Break-even (target profit) pricing: setting price to break even (or make a target profit) on the costs of making and marketing a product
• Break-even equals fixed cost divided by (price minus variable cost)
• Example (a):
• B/E = $300,000/($20 - $10)
• B/E = 30,000 units
• Example (b):
• B/E = ($300,000 + $75,000 profit)/($20 - $10)
• B/E = 37,500 units

Cost Versus Value Pricing
• Value-based pricing: setting price based on buyers’ perceptions of value rather than on the seller’s cost
• Everyday low pricing (EDLP): charging a constant low price with few discounts or promotional sales; used successfully by Wal-Mart, suits busy consumers, encourages impulse buying due to trust

Geographical Pricing
• FOB-origin pricing: goods are placed “free on board” a carrier; the customer pays the freight from the factory to the destination
• Uniform-delivered price: the company charges the same price including freight to all customers, regardless of their location
• Zone pricing: the company sets up two or more zones, all customers within a zone pay the same price, the more distant the zone, the higher the price
