22
Q

Price Discrimination

A

Charging different prices for different quantities or at different times or at different customer groups or different markets where differences are not justified by cost

23
Q

Price Discrimination Requirements (3)

A
  1. Control over price
  2. Price elasticity of demand must be different in markets or in market quantities
  3. Resale form the cheaper to the expensive must be blocked
24
Q
  1. First Degree Price Discrimination
A

The vendor has so much control over the market to charge each buyer the highest price they are willing to pay. Highly difficult to achieve

25
Q
  1. Second Degree Price Discrimination
A

You charge a uniform price for a given quantity of the good but after a certain amount you charge less

26
Q
  1. Third Degree Price Discrimination
A

You are at a specific location selling your g&s in two different markets in a monopoly

27
Q

Cost Plus Pricing

A
  • Estimates the average variable costs for producing g&s and marketing standard level of output of the firm
  • Traditionally, firms have 70-80% level capacity
  • Firms apply a markup percent (M)
28
Q

Cost Plus Pricing Advantages (4)

A
  1. Less information and is more precise MC=MR
  2. Easy to use but can be tricky
  3. Infers that prices are stable
  4. Provides a justification for price increase
29
Q

Cost Plus Pricing Criticisms (3)

A
  1. Based on accounting/historical costs rather than opportunity cost but it’s a way rather than a tool
  2. Based on average cost instead of marginal cost but to the extent MC is fairly consistent AC is a good approx
  3. Ignores conditions of demand- generally firms apply higher markups when the product has a elastic demand, a stronger M is related to E
30
Q

Incremental Analysis of Price & Marginal Analysis

A

What the impact of pricing would be to the whole firm and what would be the correct prices that require incremental analysis.

31
Q

They are depending on: Incremental Analysis of Price & Marginal Analysis

A
  • Increase in TR
  • Increase in TC
  • Only if TR > TC
  • SR with excess of capacity, fix costs are not relevant
    -SR out of capacity, Quality Demand Increases
  • Therefore, Fix costs increases and overhead costs increases and C (fully allocated av. costs) increases
    -If Pa decreases, Demand Increases and because A replaces B - TR increases
    BUT if A complementary B in a firm the TR decreases
32
Q

Capital Budgeting

A

The process of planning the stream of revenues and returns over time

33
Q

(5) Types of investment project

A
  1. Replacement
  2. Cost Reduction
  3. Expenditures to expand output
  4. Produce a new gov’ regulations
34
Q
  1. Replacement
A

Machine maintenance costs that are known. It is the easiest way that decisions can be made by the lower level

35
Q
  1. Cost Reduction
A

More efficient machinery acquisition that will lower your costs

36
Q
  1. Expenditures to expand output
A

Expansion of production facility to produce more as a result of the demand

37
Q
  1. Produce a new product
A

Enter a new market but this is quite complex to plan and has more risk because there is no knowledge of the market

38
Q

A

Its a complex process that engages in monitoring, evaluating and legal concerns to comply with gov’ regulations, including outside investments in consulting or advising

Q

  1. Net Cash Flow: a good deal of uncertainty and come up on estimate guidelines
  2. Evaluate whether or not you should undertake the project
40
Q
  1. Net Cash Flow: Methods
A
  1. Incremental basis on cash flows from the project and is differences between cash flows before and after the project was taken. You include the impact on cash flows and other areas of the firm
  2. Estimate the Net Cash Flow after tax rates and use the firm’s marginal tax rate that project A would incur
  3. Depreciation impact on taxes
41
Q
  1. Evaluation of the project: Methods
A
  1. Net present value approach: take all the cash flows from the future and discount the present value and compare that to the capital required
  2. Internal Rate of Return: the discount rate required to that the present value of all the future cash flows will exactly equal to the Cost of Capital
42
Q

Cost of Capital: Methods to rise funds (2)

A
  1. Issuing funds and stocks (External)
