"What aspect should be considered when establishing the pice of a product or service"

Various factors should be considered when establishing prices for product or services. I would be sharing these aspects of concern to be considered when establishing prices of product or service.

The customers indeed are a function of scalability of any business, thus these customers review would make or mar your business. In view of this products which are appealing to customer earn great reviews to get customers attention you need to put prices at affordable rates for them to indeed benefit, it remains a major aspect of consideration.

Market Flexibility


The market is dynamic and thus flexible, prices of products rise and fall, therefore you mustv study the market structure, knowing when to adjust your pricing system, this is a crucial part . If product prices are too outrageous it affect your business and remains a major aspect to be considered.


"Provide examples of businesses that fit the pricing method explained in class stating reasons"


Cost Based Pricing:

Example; Manufacturing Companies like Aluminum Companies.

Reason; These companies calculate total cost of production, which includes materials, labor, overhead cost and miscellaneous budgets attached thus determining perfect selling prices ensuring major cost covered and company running in profit


Value-Based Pricing

Example Mercedes Benz Company

Reason; Customers are eager to buy a Mercedes Benz to follow the trend no matter the cost value. It's the name behind the brand that instigates value, this a Benz company would indeed be a value oriented brand


Competitive Pricing

Example; McDonald's Company

Reason; McDonald's uses competitive pricing to offer products at less expensive price, an edge over competitors. These low-cost strategy interests customers this yielding more profits


Premium Pricing

Example: Rolls Royce Company

Reason: This company provides highly premium cars, a countable lot to their thirsty customers established to emphasize it's luxury. Customers appreciate and esteem these products highly for its quality and luxury.

"The company steemians invest $130,000 in the equipment needed for its production to enable the production and subsequent sales of the new products. A return of 20% on the value of investments is expected. The expected sale level for next year is 21000 units"

Determinating percentage profit required we calculate total profit needed and distribute across sales Volume.

Initial Investment$130000
Expected Return20% of $130000
Total Profit Needed$26000
Unit Production25
Sales Volume21000 units

We can see that profit per unit: $1.24, Selling Price: $26.24 percentage Profit : 4.96% is required. Market Entry:= Selling Price Per Unit = $26.24

  • $28 is competition price thus higher than selling price of $26.24

  • Steemians entry at $26.24 offering competitive advantage of 1.76 while achieving return of same price.

Conclusively, 4.96% percentage profit is required, $26.24 per unit is market entry. $28 possible to compete as calculated price is lower than competitive price
