Toyota introduced a new mid-sized SUV, which it priced at $30,000. However, many customers did not want to buy this new model because many competitors were offering a similar car for $27,000. Therefore, Toyota informed its prospective customers that in addition to the equivalent cost of the car, they were also receiving services above that of the competition. Toyota's car care service is valued at $4,000 and the extended warranty is valued at $2,000. Therefore, when buying the Toyota SUV for $30,000, the customers are actually receiving a discount of $3,000. This technique is known as ____. A. Unbundling price B. Value-based pricing C. Benefit analysis D. Cost analysis E. Bundling price Answer Key: A Feedback Lecture page 110 A.

Answer Key: C Feedback Lecture page 106 A) The failure to account for economies of scale is a problem associated with these pricing strategies. The variable cost may be reduced as more and more units are produced, so the unit cost of production usually drops as the firms output increases. B) Cost-Based and Profit-Based pricing strategies do not include competitive factors such as competitors prices. C) This is not a problem. These strategies do take into consideration the cost of goods in relation to profits. D) Both these strategies ignore demand factors.

Old Navy wants to introduce a new line of fleece pullovers. They have an extra lining that makes them even better at keeping out the cold than the previous year's pullovers. It costs Old Navy $10 to acquire each pullover from the manufacturer. Old Navy then sells each pullover for $25. What percent markup is Old Navy using? A. 60% B. 250% C. 40% D. 150% E. 25% Answer Key: A Feedback Lecture page 104 In order to find the percent markup we will use the markup pricing formula and solve for % markup. P = Cost of Goods / ((100 - % markup) / 100) Substituting, $25 = $10 / ((100 - % markup) / 100) ((100 - % markup) / 100) x $25 = $10 ((100 - % markup) / 100) = .4 (100- % markup) = 40 % markup = 60

Other things equal, if a firm finds the demand for one of its products is inelastic, it can INCREASE its total revenues by: A. lowering its price. B. reducing variable costs. C. raising its price. D. reducing both fixed and variable costs. E. reducing fixed costs. Answer Key: C Feedback Text page 343-344 Inelastic Price exists in a marketplace when the percentage change in demand is less than the percentage a change in price. In other words, an increase in price results in more total revenue that offsets any slight drop in the number of units sold. A) Since the price for its products is inelastic, lowering price actually will reduce total revenue. For example, pretend the current selling price is $10 and demand is 100 units. Current total revenue equals $1000. If the firm reduced its price to $5, the total number of additional units sold would not make up for the lost revenue due to the lower price. B) Although a reduction in fixed and variable costs would affect total profit, a reduction of the two would not affect total revenue. C) Increasing price would affect total revenue, but reducing total costs would not. This answer is incorrect. D) A reduction of fixed costs would not affect total revenue. E) Pick numbers to prove this answer choice For example pretend the current selling

A) Price elasticity is not a pricing strategy. Price elasticity deals with the percentage change in quantity demanded relative to a percentage change in price. B) A penetration pricing strategy starts by setting a low initial price on a new product to appeal immediately to the mass market. This is opposite of what the iPod did. C) Prestige pricing is a pricing strategy that involves setting a high price so that statusconscious consumers will be attracted to the product and buy it. Apple lowered the price of its iPod, so it not using prestige pricing. D) Bundle pricing is the marketing of two or more products in a single package price.

A. $100.00 B. $98.00 C. $96.00 D. $104.00 E. $102.00

Answer Key: E Feedback Lecture page 109 To find the parity price we use the critical strategic pricing ratio: Value of Brand X = Value of Brand Y Value = Total perceived benefit/ price We need to find the price where Total Perceived Benefit of Toshiba/ Price of Toshiba = Total Perceived Benefit of Sony / Price of Sony Benefit of Toshiba = (8 x 9) + (7 x 8) + (5 x 5) + (8 x 6) = 201 Benefit of Sony = (7 x 9) + (9 x 8) + (8 x 5) + (5 x 6) = 205 201/100 = 205/price --> Price = 205 x 100 / 201 = $102.00
