Price
• Price is the amount of money charged for a
good or service

produces revenue
• Changing too much chases away potential
customers, charging too little cuts revenue

BE= Fixed Costs/Contribution (SP-VC)
Example - Meal - SP = $20, VC = $8
Fixed costs are $2400 a day
BE=$2400/$12 = 200
Need to sell 200 meals @ $20 to break-even
VC = 40%, contribution = 60%
BE = $2400/.6 = $4000

Product-Bundling Pricing
• Transfer surplus reservation price (the maximum
price a customer will pay for a product)
– Customer A will pay $60 for a Disney pass and and
$120 for a hotel room,Customer B will pay $95 for the
Disney pass and $80 for the hotel room – A hotel
selling a two night package with pass for $350 will get
both customer
• Price-bundling also reduces price competition –
by making it hard to figure price of components
– In an airline and hotel package it is difficult to
determine the price of the room
