Perfect Competition—Many buyers and sellers; no one of which is large enough to influence the market. Monopolistic Competition—Has both the characteristics of both monopoly and perfect competition. Oligopoly—Few sellers. Monopoly—Barriers to entry are so high that there is only one firm in the market. 1 Basic Pricing Concepts OBJECTIVE Market Structure and Price
1 Basic Pricing Concepts OBJECTIVE Characteristics of the Four Basic Types of Market Structure
2 Pricing Policies OBJECTIVE Two Approaches to Pricing 1. Cost-based prices are established using “cost” plus markup. 2. Target prices are influenced by market conditions.
2 Pricing Policies OBJECTIVE Cost-Plus Pricing AudioPro Company sells and installs audio equipment in homes, cars, and trucks. AudioPro’s income statement for last year is as follows: Revenues $350,350 Cost of goods sold: Direct materials $122,500 Direct labor 73,500 Overhead 49,000 245,000 Gross profit $105,350 Selling and administrative expenses 25,000 Operating income $ 80,350
2 Pricing Policies OBJECTIVE Cost-Plus Pricing (continued) The firm wants to earn the same amount of profit on each job as was earned last year: Markup on COGS = (Selling and administrative expenses + Operating income)/COGS Markup on COGS = ($25,000 + $80,350)/$245,000 Markup on COGS = 0.43
2 Pricing Policies OBJECTIVE Cost-Plus Pricing (continued) The markup can be calculated using a variety of bases. The calculation for markup on direct materials is as follows: Markup on DM = (Direct labor + Overhead + Selling and administrative expense + Operating income)/Direct materials Markup on DM = ($73,500 + $49,000 + $25,000 + $80,350)/$122,500 Markup on DM = 1.86
2 Pricing Policies OBJECTIVE Cost-Plus Pricing (continued) AudioPro wants to expand the company’s product line to include automobile alarm systems and electronic car door openers. The cost for the sale and installation of one electronic remote car door opener is as follows: Direct materials (component and two remote controls) $ 40.00 Direct labor (2.5 hours x $12) 30.00 Overhead (65% of direct labor cost) 19.50 Estimated cost of one job $ 89.50 Plus 43% markup on COGS 38.49 Bid price $127.99
2 Pricing Policies OBJECTIVE Target Costing and Pricing Target costing is a method of determining the cost of a product or service based on the price that the customers are willing to pay. Target costing involves much more upfront work than cost-based pricing. However, if the cost-plus pricing turns out to be higher than what customers will accept, additional work or lost opportunity will result.
3 The Legal System and Pricing OBJECTIVE Predatory pricing is the practice of setting prices below cost for the purpose of injuring competitors and eliminating competition. Predatory pricing on the international market is called dumping. Competition
3 The Legal System and Pricing OBJECTIVE Price discrimination refers to the charging of different prices to different customers for essentially the same product.
3 The Legal System and Pricing OBJECTIVE Customer Prices per Case Cases Sold Large drug store chain $200 125,000 Small local pharmacies 232 100,000 Individual health clubs 250 25,000 Cobalt, Inc. manufactures vitamin supplements that costs an average of $163 per case. Cobalt sold 250,000 cases last year as follows: Cobalt is practicing price discrimination!
