    Formulas Used in Cost and Economics in Pricing Strategy

    Week 1

    Markup Percentage
    markup percent = (selling price - cost)/cost

    Margin
    margin = selling price - cost

    Margin Percent
    margin percent = (selling price - cost)/selling price

    Selling price
    selling price = cost/ (1 - margin %)

    Use this formula when you have a target margin.

    Profit
    profit=quantity * (price - cost)

    This is an example of a profit function with the quantity expressed as a functional form
    Profit = (15 - 3P) * (price - cost)

    Functional form
    Q = f(p)

    Week 2

    Cost-plus Pricing

    Cost + markup = selling price


    Target-cost Pricing

    Target cost = market price - target margin

    Unit Margin

    Unit margin = margin/unit quantity

    Consumption-adjusted margins

    (unit margin) * (1 + % consumption expansion)

    Break-even analysis

    (1 + % consumption expansion) * (margin per unit on larger size) = smaller size unit margin

    Week 3

    Linear Regression

    ~Q = a + b * Pi

    ~Q = Predicted quantity sales


    a = intercept
    b = slope
    Pi = price

    Multiple Regression

    ~Q = a + b1*Pi1 + b2*Pi2

    ~Q = Estimate or forecast of unit sales


    a = intercept
    b1 = slope of variable 1
    Pi1 = price of variable 1
    b2 = slope of variable 2
    Pi2 = price of variable 2

    Linear Model or Demand Model

    Q = dependent variable of quantity sold


    X1 = my own price
    X2 = price of a related good
    X3 = measure of disposable income
    X4 = trend variable
    e1 = error term

    Price Elasticity

    Definition of price elasticity E = %Q/%P can also be written as E = Q/P * P1/Q


    1

    E = elasticity
    = change
    Q = quantity
    P = price

    Cross-Price Elasticity

    Definition of cross-price elasticity EC = %Q/%P can also be written as EC = Q/PO * PO/Q


    EC = cross-price elasticity
    = change
    Q = quantity
    PO = competitor price

    Income Elasticity

    EI = Q/I * I/Q

    EI = income elasticity
    = change
    Q = quantity
    I = income

    Price Optimization Using Demand Information

    = (P - MC)Q

    = price
    MC = marginal cost
    Q = quantity sold

    Week 4

    $GP (contribution per period from active customers)

    Contribution = Sales Price - Variable Costs

    Simple CLV Model

    t=0 $GP - $R

    t=1 r $GP - r $R

    t=2 r2 $GP - r2 $R

    t=3 r3 $GP - r3 $R

    etc.

    $GP = contribution per period from active customers


    $R = retention spending per period per active customer
    r = retention rate
    d = discount rate per period

    Measurement of CLV

    CLV = present value of contribution margin - present value of marketing cost


    M = amount of money you make per customer per period
    r = retention rate
    i = discount rate per period
    n = number of periods to forecast

    3-year CLV

    CLV = M + Year 2 retention rate * (M/Year 2 discount rate) + (Year 3 retention rate*Year 2 retention
    rate) * (M/Year 3 discount rate)

    Marginal Cost

    Marginal cost = change in cost/change in quantity
