LEARNING OBJECTIVES By studying this chapter, you should be able to… 16-1 Discuss the role of cost and demand factors in setting a price. 16-2 Apply break-even analysis and markup pricing. 16-3 Identify specific pricing strategies. 16-4 Explain the benefits of credit, factors that affect credit extension, and types of credit. 16-5 Describe the activities involved in managing credit.

INTRODUCTION (slide 1 of 2) • Pricing and credit decisions are vital to the success of a company because they influence the relationship between the business and its customers, and they directly affect both revenue and cash flows. • Very few business owners have any formal training in how to set the prices for the products and services they sell. • Many times, their prices are based on what competitors are charging, some percentage above their costs, or what their suppliers suggest.

INTRODUCTION (slide 2 of 2) • Value should always be at the heart of a pricing strategy. • Value – The extent to which a good or service is perceived by a customer as meeting his or her needs or wants, measured by the customer’s willingness to pay for it. • Price – A specification of what a seller requires in exchange for transferring ownership or use of a product or service. • Often, the seller must extend credit to the buyer in order to make the exchange happen. • Credit – An agreement between a buyer and a seller that allows for delayed payment for a product or service.

May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-1 SETTING A PRICE • The total sales revenue of a firm is a direct reflection of two components: 1. Sales volume. 2. Price. • Pricing indirectly affects sales quantity. • Setting a price too high for the value being offered may result in lower quantities sold, reducing total revenue.
6.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-1a Pricing Starting with Costs (slide 1 of 3) • The price must be sufficient to cover total cost plus a margin of profit that sustains the company and moves it forward. • Costs react differently as the quantity produced or sold increases or decreases. • Cost of goods sold increases as the quantity of products sold increases. • Operating expenses remain constant at different levels of quantity sold, or fixed costs. • Average pricing – An approach in which the total cost for a given period is divided by the quantity sold in that period to set a price. Total cost Cost of goods sold Operating expenses  

© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-1a Pricing Starting with Costs (slide 3 of 3) • Pricing at less than total cost can be used as a special short-term strategy to increase demand. • Sometimes, business owners offer loss leaders, merchandise they intentionally sell below the direct product cost with the expectation that customers will buy more as they learn of other products and services the business has available. • Some businesses may use a freemium (a combination of the words “free” and “premium”) strategy. • Freemium strategy – A strategy that offers customers basic features at no cost based on the idea that they will upgrade to advanced products or services at subscription prices.
11.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-1b Pricing Starting with Customers (slide 1 of 3) • Cost analysis can identify a level below which a price should not be set under normal circumstances. • However, it does not show by how much the final price might exceed that minimum figure and still be acceptable to customers. • Demand factors must be considered before making this determination.
12.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-1b Pricing Starting with Customers (slide 2 of 3) ELASTICITY OF DEMAND • Elasticity of demand – The degree to which a change in price affects the quantity demanded. • Elastic demand – Demand that changes significantly when there is a change in the price of a product or service. • Example: Electronic products. • Inelastic demand – Demand that does not change significantly when there is a change in the price of a product or service. • Example: Milk. • The concept of elasticity of demand is important because the degree of elasticity sets limits on or provides opportunities for higher pricing.

Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-1b Pricing Starting with Customers (slide 3 of 3) PRICING AND A FIRM’S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE • A product’s competitive advantage is a demand factor in setting price. • If consumers perceive the product or service as an important solution to their unsatisfied needs, they are likely to demand more of it. • A pricing tactic that often reflects a competitive advantage is prestige pricing. • Prestige pricing – An approach based on setting a high price to convey an image of high quality or uniqueness. • The influence of prestige pricing varies from market to market, from product to product, and from service to service.

Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-2 APPLYING A PRICING SYSTEM • In order to properly evaluate a pricing system, a small business owner must understand potential costs, revenue, and product demand for the venture. • A key to that understanding is the ability to determine when enough products and services have been sold to cover the operating expenses of running the business—or, more simply, the ability to recognize the break-even point.
15.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-2a Break-Even Analysis (slide 1 of 3) • Break-even analysis – Analysis that requires the examination of cost-revenue relationships and the incorporation of sales forecasts. • Break-even analysis allows the entrepreneur to compare alternative cost and revenue estimates in order to determine the acceptability of each price. • Break-even analyses are usually represented by formulas and graphs.
16.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-2a Break-Even Analysis (slide 2 of 3) EXAMINING COST-REVENUE RELATIONSHIPS • Break-even point – Sales volume at which total sales revenue equals total costs and expenses. Total fixed operating costs and expenses Break-even point Unit selling price Unit variable costs and expenses  ď€ â€˘ The higher the total fixed costs, the more units the firm must sell to break even. • The greater the difference between the unit selling price and the unit variable costs and expenses, the fewer the units the firm must sell to break even. • Contribution margin – The difference between the unit selling price and the unit variable costs and expenses. • To evaluate other break-even points, the entrepreneur can plot additional sales lines for other prices on the chart.

18.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-2a Break-Even Analysis (slide 3 of 3) INCORPORATING SALES FORECASTS • Demand for a product typically decreases as price increases; however, in certain cases, price may influence demand in the opposite direction. • Therefore, estimated demand for a product at various prices, as determined through marketing research, should be incorporated into the break- even analysis. • To incorporate estimated demand into the break-even analysis, a demand curve can be added to the break-even chart. • This graph allows a more realistic profit area to be identified.

Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-2b Markup Pricing • Markup pricing – An approach based on applying a percentage to a product’s cost to obtain its selling price. • In calculating the selling price for a particular item, a retailer adds a markup percentage (sometimes referred to as a markup rate) to cover: 1. Operating expenses. 2. Subsequent price reductions (such as markdowns and employee discounts). 3. The desired profit. • Markups may be expressed as a percentage of either the selling price or the cost. Markup Markup expressed as a percentage of selling price 100 Selling price   Markup Markup expressed as a percentage of cost 100 Cost  

Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16-3 SELECTING A PRICE STRATEGY • Break-even analysis and similar techniques give owners an idea of how much they need to sell to cover their costs, but such analyses should not by themselves determine the final price. • Price determination must also consider characteristics of targeted customers and the firm’s marketing strategy. • Price strategies that reflect these considerations include: • Penetration pricing. • Price skimming. • Follow-the-leader pricing. • Variable pricing. • Price lining. • Option product and service pricing.
