Pricing Methods
The following are some basic approaches/methods for setting the price of a product-
a). Cost-based Approach-
Cost-plus pricing/Markup Pricing
Break Even Pricing/ Target ReturnPricing
b). Buyer-based Approach-
Perceived Value Pricing
c). Competition-based Approach-
Going-rate pricing
Sealed-bid pricing/ Auction-type pricing

a). Cost-based Approach-
The price determination of a product, under cost-basedmethod, is made on the basis of cost of production plusan additional margin of cost, i.e. selling price is equals tothe cost of production plus anticipated profit.
Under this, there are two concepts, such as-
Cost-plus pricing/Markup Pricing-
The most elementary method is to add a standardmarkup to the products cost.
It determines: - the no. of units likely to be sold
Calculating the direct cost per unit
to cover overhead costs and profit
The following example will give up a clear-cut pictureof this concept.

Example:
Ex- Suppose, Variable cost = Rs. 20/-
Fixed cost = Rs. 3,00,000/-
Expected units sale = 50,000 units
Manufacturer wants to earn a 30% return on sales.
Solution- Unit Cost = Variable cost + Fixed Cost
Unit Sales = 20 + 3, 00,000 = Rs. 26/-
50,000
Cost-plus price = Unit cost(1- Desired return on sales)
= 26 = Rs. 37.10/-
(1-0.3)

Example:
Ex- Suppose, in the above example, thetotal capital invested is Rs.1,00,000,00/- and price is so set that itcould earn 30% return. Then-
Target Return Price can be calculated asfollows-
ByMr. Subash C. Nath
8/6/2019 MM-II- MOD-II-PRICE
17/21
TRP = Unit cost + Desired return Invested Capital
Unit Sales
= 26 + 0.3 1,00,000,00
50,000
= Rs. 32/-
Break Even Volume = Fixed Cost
TRP- Variable cost
= 3,00,000
32 20= 25,000 units
Hence, the manufacturer by the B.E.A. can understand theprobable impact on sales volumes & profits at different prices.

b). Buyer-based Approach-
Here the firm doesnt fix the price, but the buyers do this.Price is fixed simply adjusting it to the market condition.The price varies from consumer to consumer. A highdemand followed by a high price and a low demand is
followed by a low price. The basic concept under thismethod is as
Perceived Value pricing- It is based on the concept ofsetting the price on the basis of value perceived by the
buyer of the product rather than the sellers cost. Themarketer uses the non-price variables in the marketing-mix to build up perceived value in the buyers mind. Priceis set to match the perceived value of the product.

c). Competition-based Approach-Going-rate pricing-
The firm bases its price largely on competitors prices.The firm may change the same, more or less than themajor competitor. The smaller firms follow the leader. Asleader fixes its price the other firm follows that price.
Thats why it is known as going rate price.Sealed Bid Price-
Here the firm bases its price on how it thinks competitorswill price, rather than on its cost or demand. The firmwants to win the control & winning the contrast requires
pricing lower than other firms.Yet, the firm cant set the price below a certain level. Itcant price below cost. On the other hand, the higher itset sits price above its costs, the lower its chance ofgetting the contracts.

Managing Price Changes It refers to the ability of the firm to cut
or raise prices.
Initiating price cuts: A firm can go forprice cuts in two cases
Excess plant capacity
Drive to dominate the market throughlower cost
Initiating price increase:
Delayed quotation pricing
Escalator clauses
Unbundling
Reduction of discounts
