Cost of goods sold The total amount spent to produce or to purchase the goods that are sold. **The largest single factor in establishing retail price of products. Operating expenses Debts incurred in the routine operation of a business.

Net profit (net income): The amount left after the total expenses are subtracted from gross profit. Generally this amounts to 1-5%. Profit (cont.) Return on investment (ROI): A calculation that is used to determine the relative profitability of a product. Calculated by dividing net profit by total investment Income Statement SALES Minus Cost of Goods Sold = GROSS PROFIT Minus Operating Expenses - Fixed & Variable = NET PROFIT Markdown A reduction in selling price used to reduce inventory as a result of: buying errors, promotional pricing, or sales techniques. Markdown Retail Price x Markdown % = Markdown $ Example: $150 x 30% = $45 Retail Price – Markdown $ = Sale Price Example: $150 - $45 = $105 Activity Fill in Financial Worksheet Wednesday, May 5th Warm up – Financial Worksheet – fill in blanks Obj. 9.01 – Review Obj. E9.02 – Pricing Techniques Slide Show/Notes Activities Pricing approaches Demand-oriented pricing: Pricing based on what consumers are currently willing to pay for a product. Pricing approaches Competition-oriented pricing: Prices set on the basis of what competitors charge. Pricing approaches (cont.) Cost-oriented pricing: Pricing based on the cost of the product plus a markup or desired profit. Two Types: Markup Cost plus pricing Pricing approaches (cont.) Markup pricing—A predetermined markup percent is added to the cost of all goods sold to reach a selling price. This is the simplest pricing method. Pricing approaches (cont.) Cost plus pricing—All costs and expenses for a particular product are added to the desired profit to determine the selling price. (This is similar to markup, but expenses are calculated separately for each individual item.)

Price lines must have enough differentiation so that the business has a low, middle, and high range of pricing. Example: A store might sell its merchandise for $15, $40, and $85. Pricing techniques (cont.) Product mix pricing strategies Optional product pricing: Pricing for accessories or options sold with the main product. Example: Automatic transmission, air conditioning, and/or a moon roof are options that may be added to a car at an additional price. Pricing techniques (cont.) Product mix pricing strategies Captive product pricing: Sets the price for a primary product low, but compensates for that low price by pricing the supplies needed to operate that product high. Example: Ink-jet printers are fairly inexpensive, but the ink cartridges needed for the printer are expensive. Pricing techniques (cont.) Product mix pricing strategies By-product pricing: Sets prices on products produced during production of other products. Prices are generally low. Example: Wood chips created as a byproduct of work done by a tree service would be inexpensive. Pricing techniques (cont.) Product mix pricing strategies Bundle pricing: Packaging and selling complementary products along with the primary product at a single price. Allows a company to include more items for sale to its customers, and in turn, increase its sales and profits. Example: Bundling a PC with software and a printer Pricing techniques (cont.) Product mix pricing strategies Geographical pricing: Pricing to include charges necessary to get the product delivered to the customer’s location. Pricing techniques (cont.) Product mix pricing strategies International pricing: Setting price based on costs, consumers, economic conditions, and monetary exchange rates. Costs that need to be considered include shipping charges and tariffs. Pricing techniques (cont.) Segmentation pricing strategies Buyer identifications pricing Product design pricing Purchaser location pricing Time-of-purchase pricing Pricing techniques (cont.) Segmentation pricing strategies Buyer identification pricing: Pricing that offers consideration to buyer segments based on special characteristics of the segment. Example: Offering discounts to senior citizens, many of whom are on fixed incomes Pricing techniques (cont.) Segmentation pricing strategies Product design pricing: Pricing different styles of products due to demand. Example = pastel Uggs are cheaper than core colors. Pricing techniques (cont.) Segmentation pricing strategies Purchaser location pricing: Pricing according to where a product is sold and/or the location of the product. Example: Broadway tickets for a show in New York City cost more than tickets for the same show performed in Charlotte, NC. Pricing techniques (cont.) Segmentation pricing strategies Time-of-purchase pricing: Pricing based on peak/non-peak business seasons. Example: The price of an oceanfront hotel room in July versus the price of the same room in January. Pricing techniques (cont.) Psychological pricing strategies Odd-even pricing Prestige pricing Multiple-unit pricing Everyday low prices Pricing techniques (cont.) Psychological pricing strategies Odd-even pricing: A pricing technique that involves setting prices that all end in either odd or even numbers. Odd numbers such as $9.99 or $.79 convey a bargain. Even numbers such as $20 and $100 convey an image of quality. Pricing techniques (cont.) Psychological pricing strategies Prestige pricing: A pricing strategy that sets higher-than-average prices to suggest status and high quality to the consumer. Example: Rolls Royce and Waterford Crystal are priced high due to their prestigious image. Pricing techniques (cont.) Psychological pricing strategies Multiple-unit pricing: Pricing items in multiples. Example: Candy bars 3 for $1.00 seems to be a better deal than 3 individual items for $.34 each. Pricing techniques (cont.) Psychological pricing strategies Everyday low prices: Setting low prices on a consistent basis with no intention of raising them or offering discounts in the future. Pricing techniques (cont.) Promotional pricing Loss leader pricing Special Event pricing Rebates Coupons Pricing techniques (cont.) Promotional pricing Loss leader pricing: Offering very popular items of merchandise for sale at below-cost prices to increase store traffic. The hope is that the increase in customer traffic in the store to buy the bargain item will also result in increased sales of regular price items. Example: Two 12-can packs of soda for $5.00 Pricing techniques (cont.) Promotional pricing Special event pricing: Offering reduced prices for a short period of time for specific events of promotions. Example: Back-toschool or President’s Day sales Pricing techniques (cont.) Promotional pricing Rebates: Partial refunds provided by the manufacturer to consumers who mail in proof of purchase according to manufacturer guidelines. Pricing techniques (cont.) Promotional Coupon: pricing A printed voucher that provides a reduction in the selling price at the time of purchase. Pricing techniques (cont.) Discounts and allowances Cash discount Quantity discount Trade discount Seasonal discount Pricing techniques (cont.) Discounts Cash and allowances discount: A reduction in price offered to buyers to encourage prompt payment. Example: An invoice has terms 2/10, net 30. If the invoice is paid within 10 days, a 2% discount is allowed. If payment is not made within the discount period, the full amount is due within 30 days. Pricing techniques (cont.) Discounts and allowances Quantity discount: A reduction in price offered to the buyer for placing large orders. Example: A customer who buys 1-5 cases of paper pays $12.00 per case. If the same customer buys 6-10 cases of the same paper, the price per case decreases to $11.50. Pricing techniques (cont.) Discounts and allowances Trade discount: A discount allowed by manufacturers to wholesalers and retailers. Often expressed as a discount on a manufacturer’s suggested retail price Example: Suggested retail price for a paperback novel is $12.99. The retailer price is $12.99 less 40%, or $7.79. Pricing techniques (cont.) Discounts and allowances Seasonal discount: A reduction in price offered to buyers willing to buy at a time outside the normal buying season. Manufacturers offer these discounts to keep production amounts stable. Activities Worksheets (2)
