Chap 10 - Price
I. What is a price?
- narrowly, price: amount of money charged for a product/service (chỉ giá của sp)
- broadly, price: sum of values that customers give up to gain benefits of having or using a
product or service (additional cost nữa, vd: mình mua lap giá 19m, price ở đây còn có chi phí
xăng đi đến bhx để mua sp)
• EDLP (every day low price): charge constant, everyday low price w/ few or no temporary
price discount (Giá mỗi ngày rẻ r nên ít khi discount)
Ex: walmart, big c, coopmart
• High-low pricing: charge higher prices on everyday but run frequent promotion to lower
price temporarily on selected items

Ex: những sp bán trong mall, hypermarket (aeon mall) > giá thường cao hơn > some days n
sẽ có discount
Value-added pricing: add quality, services and value added features to differentiate > sell
exceptional higher prices
Ex: luxury products
2. Cost-based pricing
Set giá dựa trên cost (producing, distributing selling, etc.) + profit (a fair rate of return for effort
and risk) / adds a standard markup to the cost of the product
- fixed cost: chi phí fixed trong quá trình sx
- variable cost: vary at different level of production
- total costs are the sum of the fixed and variable costs for any given level of production
How to calulate cost-plus pricing (markup pricing)?
FC=100,000/50,000=2
TC: 10+2=12
b) 20% markup on cost
markup price = 12 + 20%x12 = 14.4
a) 20% markup on sales
markup price = cost + 20%markup price
markup price: x
x= 12+ 20%*x => x = 15
c) 14.4 < 15 -> if company want to gain 20% markup on cost they will sell one product at 14.4,
which is lower than 15 (20% markup on sales)

3. Competition-based pricing
Setting prices based on competitors’ strategies, costs, prices, and market offerings
- Price elasticity
• Price elasticity: a measure of the sensitivity of demand to changes in price
• Demand hardly changes with a small change in price (inelastic), demand changes greatly
with a small change in price (elastic)
• If demand is elastic rather than inelastic > sellers will consider lowering their prices >
produce more total revenue
