16. To arrive at target cost, first
determine target given product’s appeal
price and desired and competitor’s price
function
Then: Target Selling Price = $ 9.90
Less Profit Margin = $ 3.40
Target Cost = $ P 6.50

17. Different pricing methods can
be used in varying situations
Markup pricing
Target-return pricing
Perceived-value pricing
Value pricing
Going-rate pricing
Auction-type pricing

18. Markup Pricing is just adding
a standard mark-up to the
product’s cost.
Variable cost per unit $10.00
Fixed Cost $ 300,000.00
Expected Unit Sales 50,000 units
Unit cost= variable cost + fixed cost
unit sales
= $10.00+ $ 300,000.00
50,000
= $16.00
Desired Mark Up= 20%
Selling Price= Unit Cost = $16.00 = $20
(1- desired return) (1-0.20)

19. Target-return pricing is used
by companies who need to
make a fair return on
investment
Desired ROI = 20% or € 200,000
Target-return on price
= unit cost + desired return x investment capital
unit sales
= $16.00 + 0.20 x $1,000,000.00 = $20.00
50,000

$ 6,000 superior reliability
$ 5,000 superior service
$ 2,000 longer warranty
$ 110,000 superior value

Fixed Cost or overhead cost are costs that do not vary with production level or sales revenue.Variable cost vary directly with level of production.
Total cost consist of the sum of the fixed and variable costs for any given level of production.
It refers to the gain a company experiences in producing a product over a period of time. Workers learn shortcuts, materials flow more smoothly, and procurement costs fall. The result is that average cost falls with accumulated production experience. This decline in the average cost with accumulated production experience is called the experience curve or learning curve. Average cost is the cost per unit at a level of production given total costhttp://design-marketing-dictionary.blogspot.com/2009/09/accumulated-production.html
Also used for season items, specialty items, slower-moving items, items with high storage and handling cost, demand-inelastic (drugs)
The firm determines the price that would yield its target rate of return on investment (ROI).Example 15 % to 20% ROI-does not consider other scenarios- if item will not sell at 50,000-manufacturers should consider different prices and their impact on sales volume-Find ways to decrease fixed costs and variable costs to lower break even volume
There is always a segment of buyers who care only about the priceDeliver more value than the competitor and demonstrate this to prospective buyers
