Appendix A Pricing Products and Services Solutions to Questions A-1 In cost-plus pricing, prices are set by applying a markup percentage to a product’s cost. A-2 The price elasticity of demand measures the degree to which a change in price affects unit sales. The unit sales of a product with inelastic demand are relatively insensitive to the price charged for the product. In contrast, the unit sales of a product with elastic demand are sensitive to the price charged for the product. A-3 The profit-maximizing price should depend only on the variable (marginal) cost per unit and on the price elasticity of demand. Fixed costs do not enter into the pricing decision at all. Fixed costs are relevant in a decision of whether to offer a product or service, but are not relevant in deciding what to charge for the product or service. Because price affects unit sales, total variable costs are affected by the pricing decision and therefore are relevant. A-4 The markup over variable cost depends on the price elasticity of demand. A product whose demand is elastic should have a lower markup over cost than a product whose demand is inelastic. If demand for a product is inelastic, the price can be increased without cutting as drastically into unit sales. A-5 The markup in the absorption costing approach to pricing is supposed to cover selling and administrative expenses as well as providing for an adequate return on the assets tied up in the product. Full cost is an alternative approach not discussed in the chapter that is used almost as frequently as the absorption approach. Under the full cost approach, all costs—including selling and administrative expenses—are included in the cost base. If full cost is used, the markup is only supposed to provide for an adequate return on the assets. A-6 The absorption costing approach assumes that consumers do not react to prices at all—consumers will purchase the forecasted unit sales regardless of the price that is charged. This is clearly an unrealistic assumption except under very special circumstances. A-7 The protection offered by full cost pricing is an illusion. All costs will be covered only if actual sales equal or exceed the forecasted sales on which the absorption costing price is based. There is no assurance that a sufficient number of units will be sold. A-8 Target costing is used to price new products. The target cost is the expected selling price of the new product less the desired profit per unit. The product development team is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that actual costs do not exceed this target cost. This is the reverse of the way most companies have traditionally approached the pricing decision. Most companies start with their full cost and then add their markup to arrive at the selling price. In contrast to target costing, this traditional approach ignores how much customers are willing to pay for the product.
