1、Pricing Productsand Services,Appendix A,Learning Objective 1,Compute the profit-maximizing price of a product or service using the price elasticity of demands and variable cost.,The Economists Approach to Pricing,Elasticity of Demand,The price elasticity of demand measures the degree to which the un

2、it sales of a product or service is affected by a change in price.,Price Elasticity of Demand,Demand for a product is inelastic if a change in price has little effect on the number of units sold.,ExampleThe demand for designer perfumes sold at cosmetic counters in department stores is relatively ine

3、lastic.,Price Elasticity of Demand,Demand for a product is elastic if a change in price has a substantial effect on the number of units sold.,ExampleThe demand for gasoline is relatively elastic because if a gas station raises its price, unit sales will drop as customers seek lower prices elsewhere.

4、,Price Elasticity of Demand,As a manager, you should set higher (lower) markups over cost when demand is inelastic (elastic),Price Elasticity of Demand,Natural log function,Price elasticity of demand,Price Elasticity of Demand,Suppose the managers of Natures Garden believe that every 10 percent incr

5、ease in the selling price of its apple-almond shampoo will result in a 15 percent decrease in the number of bottles of shampoo sold. Lets calculate the price elasticity of demand. For its strawberry glycerin soap, managers of Natures Garden believe that the company will experience a 20 percent decre

6、ase in unit sales if its price is increased by 10 percent.,Price Elasticity of Demand,For Natures Garden apple-almond shampoo.,Price Elasticity of Demand,For Natures Garden strawberry glycerin soap.,Price Elasticity of Demand,The price elasticity of demand for the strawberry glycerin soap is larger,

7、 in absolute value, than the apple-almond shampoo. This indicates that the demand for strawberry glycerin soap is more elastic than the demand for apple-almond shampoo.,The Profit-Maximizing Price,Under certain conditions, the profit-maximizing price can be determined using the following formula:,Th

8、e Profit-Maximizing Price,Lets determine the profit-maximizing price for the apple-almond shampoo sold by Natures Garden. The shampoo has a variable cost per unit of $2.00.,Price elasticity of demand = -1.71,The Profit-Maximizing Price,Now lets turn to the profit-maximizing price for the strawberry

9、glycerin soap sold by Natures Garden. The soap has a variable cost per unit of $0.40.,Price elasticity of demand = -2.34,The Profit-Maximizing Price,The 75 percent markup for the strawberry glycerin soap is lower than the 141 percent markup for the apple-almond shampoo. This is because the demand fo

10、r strawberry glycerin soap is more elastic than the demand for apple-almond shampoo.,The Profit-Maximizing Price,This graph depicts how the profit-maximizing markup is generally affected by how sensitive unit sales are to price.,The Profit-Maximizing Price,Natures Garden is currently selling 200,000

11、 bars of strawberry glycerin soap per year at the price of $0.60 a bar. If the change in price has no effect on the companys fixed costs or on other products, lets determine the effect on contribution margin of increasing the price by 10 percent.,The Profit-Maximizing Price,Contribution margin will

12、increase by $1,600.,Learning Objective 2,Compute the selling price of a product using the absorption costing approach.,The Absorption Costing Approach,Under the absorption approach to cost-plus pricing, the cost base is the absorption costing unit product cost rather than the variable cost.,Setting

13、a Target Selling Price,Here is information provided by the management of Ritter Company.,Assuming Ritter will produce and sell 10,000 units of the new product, and that Ritter typically uses a 50 percent markup percentage, lets determine the unit product cost.,Setting a Target Selling Price,Ritter h

14、as a policy of marking up unit product costs by 50 percent. Lets calculate the target selling price.,Setting a Target Selling Price,Ritter would establish a target selling price to cover selling, general, and administrative expenses and contribute to profit $30 per unit.,Determining the Markup Perce

15、ntage,The markup percentage can be based on an industry “rule of thumb,” company tradition, or it can be explicitly calculated. The equation to calculate the markup percentage is:,Determining the Markup Percentage,Lets assume that Ritter must invest $100,000 in the product and market 10,000 units of

16、 product each year. The company requires a 20 percent ROI on all investments. Lets determine Ritters markup percentage on absorption cost.,Determining the Markup Percentage,Markup %on absorptioncost,(20% $100,000) + ($2 10,000 + $60,000)10,000 $20,=,Problems with the Absorption Costing Approach,The

17、absorption costing approach assumes that customers need the forecasted unit sales and will pay whatever price the company decides to charge. This is flawed logic simply because customers have a choice.,Problems with the Absorption Costing Approach,Lets assume that Ritter sells only 7,000 units at $3

18、0 per unit, instead of the forecasted 10,000 units. Here is the income statement.,Problems with the Absorption Costing Approach,Lets assume that Ritter sells only 7,000 units at $30 per unit, instead of the forecasted 10,000 units. Here is the income statement.,Absorption costing approach to pricing

19、 is a safeapproach only if customers choose to buy atleast as many units as managers forecastedthey would buy.,Learning Objective 3,Compute the target cost for a new product or service.,Target Costing,Target costing is the process of determining the maximum allowable cost for a new product and then

20、developing a prototype that can be made for that maximum target cost figure. The equation for determining the target price is shown below:,Target cost = Anticipated selling price Desired profit,Reasons for Using Target Costing,Two characteristics of prices and product costs:,The market (i.e., supply

21、 and demand) determines price. Most of the cost of a product is determined in the design stage.,Target costing was developed in recognition of these two characteristics.,Reasons for Using Target Costing,Target costing was developed in recognition of the two characteristics shown on the previous scre

22、en. More specifically, Target costing begins the product development process by recognizing and responding to existing market prices.,Reasons for Using Target Costing,Target costing focuses a companys cost reduction efforts in the product design stage of production.,Target Costing,Handy Appliance fe

23、els there is a niche for a hand mixer with certain features. The Marketing Department believes that a price of $30 would be about right and that about 40,000 mixers could be sold. An investment of $2,000,000 is required to gear up for production. The company requires a 15 percent ROI on invested fun

24、ds. Let see how we determine the target cost.,Target Costing,Each functional area within Handy Appliance would be responsible for keeping its actual costs within the target established for that area.,End of Appendix A,Appendix B,Profitability Analysis,Absolute Profitability,Absolute profitability me

26、t would be avoided.,For a New SegmentCompare the additional revenues from addingthat segment to the costs that would be incurred.,Learning Objective 1,Compute the profitability index and use it to select from among possible actions.,Relative Profitability,Relative profitability is concerned with ran

27、king products, customers, and other business segments to determine which should be emphasized in an environment of scarce resources.,Relative Profitability,Managers are interested in ranking segments if a constraint forces them to make trade-offs among segments.In the absence of a constraint, all se

28、gments that are absolutely profitable should be pursued.,Relative Profitability,Profitability Index,Management of Matrix, Inc. developed the following information concerning its two segments:,Project Profitability Index,The project profitability index is used when a company has more long-term projec

29、ts with positive net present values than it can fund.,From Chapter 14,Project Profitability Index,The net present value of the project goes in the numerator since it represents the incremental profit from the segment.,From Chapter 14,Project Profitability Index,The investment funds are theconstraint

30、, so the amount of investmentrequired by a project goes in the denominator.,From Chapter 14,Quality Kitchen Design: An Example,Quality Kitchen Design: An Example,If managementonly has 46 hours available,which projects should be accepted?,Ranking Based on Profitability Index,Ranking Based on Profitab
