Cost Based Pricing Formulas
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 %)
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
Unit Margin
Consumption-adjusted margins
Break-even analysis
(1 + % consumption expansion) * (margin per unit on larger size) = smaller size unit margin
Week 3
Linear Regression
~Q = a + b * Pi
Multiple Regression
~Q = a + b1*Pi1 + b2*Pi2
Price Elasticity
E = elasticity
= change
Q = quantity
P = price
Cross-Price Elasticity
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
= (P - MC)Q
= price
MC = marginal cost
Q = quantity sold
Week 4
t=0 $GP - $R
t=1 r $GP - r $R
t=2 r2 $GP - r2 $R
t=3 r3 $GP - r3 $R
etc.
Measurement of CLV
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
