Analysis
• All types of reference like fair price typical price last price paid upper-bound price lower-bound price competitor prices expected future prices and usual discounted price
• When alternative information about true quality is available price becomes a less significant indicator of quality. When this information is not available ,price acts as a signal of quality
• Many sellers believe price should end in an odd numberl. Another explanation for the popularity of “9” ending is that the convey the notion of a discount or bargain.

Analysis
• The company first decides where it wants to position its market offering. The clearer a firm’s objectives, the easier it is to set price.
• Each price will lead to a different level of demand and will therefore have a different impact on a company’s marketing objectives
• Demand sets a ceiling on the price the company can charge for its product. Costs the floor
• The firm should first consider the nearest competitor’s price
• Given the customers’ demand schedule,the cost function, and competitors’ prices,the company is now ready to select a price
• Pricing methods narrow the range from which the company must select its final price

Question 3

D the high price communicates the image of a superior product
E none of them

Question 4
• Suppose a toaster manufacturer has the following costs and sales expectations:
variable cost per unit $10
fixed costs $300,000
expected unit sales 50,000
Now suppose the manufacturer wants to earn a 20% markup on sales. What is the makeup price should be given by the manufacturer?

http://huaijunli.blogspot.com/12
Answer
• Unit cost = variable cost+ fixed cost/unit sales
=$10+$300,000/50,000
=$16
Markup price=unit cost/(1-desired return on sales)
= $16/(1-0.2)
=$20

Question 5
• Suppose the toaster manufacturer has invested $1 million in the business and wants to set a price to earn a 20% ROI, specifically $200,000. What is the target-return price and break-even point?
![Page 14: Chapter14](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042713/547aea57b4af9f6f528b46ea/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
http://huaijunli.blogspot.com/14
Answer
• Target-return pricing =unit cost +desired return *invested capital/unit sales
=$16+(0.2*$1,000,000)/50,000
=$16+$4
=$20
Break-even volume =fixed cost/(price-variable cost)
=300,000/($20-$10)
=30,000

Analysis
• In geographical pricing, the company decides how to price its products to different customers in different locations and countries
• Discounting can be a useful tool if a company can gain concessions in return.
• Promotional-pricing strategies are often a zero-sum game
• Companies often adjust their basic price to accommodate differences in customers, products, locations, and so on.
• Auction pricings is a pricing method

one factor leading to price increase is overdemand. When a company cannot supply all its customers, it can raise its prices, ration supplies to customers, or both.
