Introduction

Right price is one of the important


determinants of business success.
The uniqueness of price in the
marketing mix is that it is the only
element that generates revenue.
At the outset one may think that price
must cover at least the full cost of
production and marketing.

Cost Based Pricing

Cost based pricing, also known as cost plus


pricing, is a common method of pricing.
Under this method the price includes a
certain percentage of profit margin on the
sum total of the full cost of production,
marketing costs and an allocation of the
overheads.
That
is,
price=(fixed
costs+variable
costs+overheads+marketing
costs)+
specified percentage of the total costs

Market Oriented Pricing

This is a very flexible policy in the sense


that it allows the prices to be changed in
accordance with the changes in market
conditions.
The product may be priced high when
demand conditions are very good and the
price may be lowered when the market is
sluggish if that helps increasing sales.
This method is sometimes referred to as
what the traffic will bear method.

Break Even Price

Break-even price is the price for a given level


of output at which there is neither any loss
nor profit.
Break-even analysis helps to understand the
minimum sales required to avoid any loss and
also the profit or loss at various levels of
sales.
The break-even point(BEP) is the point of
sales at which there is neither any loss nor
any profit.

Of Physical Units
BEP = FC
FC
SP-VC
C
Where
FC = fixed cost
VC = variable cost
SP = selling price
C = contribution per unit ( C=SP-VC )

Marginal Cost Pricing

Marginal cost pricing approach is


common in evaluating the profitability
of new orders in case of firms with
excess capacity.
Under the marginal cost pricing, the
relevant cost considered for pricing is
the variable cost, the fixed cost is
excluded from the calculation of the
cost of the product.
International Marketing
Chapter-10 International Pricing

Creative Pricing

Marginal costing may give scope for


creative pricing.
Creative
pricing
means
taking
advantage of the flexibility between the
lower limit of break-even price and the
upper limit of the competitors price for
similar product.

Transfer Pricing

Transfer pricing or intra company pricing


refers to the pricing of goods transferred
from operations or sales units in one
country to the company s unit elsewhere.
The appropriate basis for intracompany
transfers often depends on the nature of
the subsidiaries, the market conditions and
government policies and regulations.
International Marketing
Chapter-10 International Pricing

Some studies show that, in most cases,


setting up transfer prices remains the
absolute prerogative of the parent
company executives regardless of the
firms nationally.
