WHY IS THE PRICING DECISION SO IMPORTANT?
![Page 4: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Pricing
• Price should be competitive & also profitable– Too high : can discourage customers– Too low : can portray poor image (cheap)

Factors Affecting Pricing Decisions
![Page 8: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Price Makers Vs Price Takers
• Some firms are in a better position than others to set their own prices.
• These firms are called Price Makers• These tend to be businesses who are market
leaders of who operate in industries with little competition
• Other firms have very little power to set their own prices and have to follow the industry levels
• These are know as Price Takers
![Page 9: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pricing Strategies:
– Cost-based – Competition-based– Market-led
![Page 10: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
COST –BASED PRICING STRATEGIES
![Page 11: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cost Based Pricing Strategies
• Cost-Plus Pricing (Mark-up pricing)• Marginal Cost Pricing (Contribution
Pricing) (HL only)• Full Cost Pricing (HL only)• Absorption cost pricing (HL only)
![Page 12: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cost-Plus Pricing(Mark-Up)
• Involves adding a percentage or fixed amount of profit to the average cost of production to determine the selling price
• Percentage or fixed amount added is called the mark-up or profit margin
• Selling Price = Average Cost + Mark-Up
![Page 13: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cost-Based Pricing(Mark-Up) Example
A company makes mugs.The variable cost of producing each mug is $1.10. The factory currently has fixed costs of $10,000 per month and produces 20,000 mugs per month.a.What is the average cost of production?b. What would the selling price be if the company required a 50% profit margin?What would happen if production dropped to only 10,000 per month?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of this pricing method?
![Page 14: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Marginal Cost Pricing (Contribution pricing)
(HL)• Marginal Cost refers to the additional cost s of producing an
extra unit of output.• These are usually the variable cost of each item produced
(unless the business is producing at full capacity)• Once variable costs have been paid, any money left over
goes towards (contributes) fixed costs.• Marginal cost pricing involves calculating the variable cost
of producing each item and adding on an amount which will be used as a contribution to fixed costs
• Selling price = Variable cost per unit + desired contribution
![Page 15: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Contribution Pricing - Example
• In what circumstances might this be a better method than working out the average cost?
Cost per mug $
Materials 0.80
Direct Labour 0.30
Indirect costs 0.50
Total 1.60
• The mugs must be for at least $1.10 dollar as this will ensure that all marginal costs are covered
![Page 16: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Full Cost Pricing (HL)
• Full cost pricing allows the business to allocate the total fixed costs between all of the products that are sold.
• For multi-product firms it might not be fair to allocate fixed costs evenly between each unit of output
• Some products may incur more fixed costs than others.
• The business must decide on what basis the fixed costs will be shared
![Page 17: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Criteria for allocating fixed costs:
• Equally between each product• According to floor space

ABSORPTION COSTING
![Page 24: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Absorption costing
• Absorption costing is an extension of full costing• It attempts to more accurately allocate fixed costs
by apportioning each fixed cost by a different criteria
• It is a fairer method than full costing but more complicated to calculate
• Criteria could be:– Floor Space– Number of Employees– Machinery Utilised– Output
![Page 25: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Penetration Pricing• This strategy involves setting prices low
initially to get customers interested• The price will then be increased • What are the risk of using this strategy?• Customers may not be prepared to pay the
higher price• Can you think of any examples of products
which use this strategy?• Magazines, CD’s, Fizzy drinks

Skimming
This strategy involves setting prices high initially then lowering prices later on.
Customers who want the product before any one else will pay a high price
When the price is lowered other customers will be prepared to buy the product
Can you think of any examples?Mobile phones, Games Consoles

• Demand refers to the quantity of a good that will be bought over a period of time at a given price
• A change in price will result in a movement along the demand curve
• A change in other variables will result in a shift in the demand curve
![Page 70: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Supply
• Supply is the amount of a good or service that producers are willing to supply at a given price
![Page 71: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Example – Farming
• A farmer has limited space to grow crops.
• They will make decisions on how much to supply of each product depending on the market price
![Page 72: IB Business and Management Pricing 4.4 Outline Today’s objectives: – Discuss importance of pricing – Examine various pricing strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2d5503460f94b1c8b8/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Supply and Price
• When the price is low, very few producers will be able to make a profit- so the supply is small.
• At high prices even inefficient producers can make a profit so supply is large
• Firms will make more of a thing if they get a good price
SUPPLY FOR A PRODUCT INCREASES AS PRICE INCREASES
