• Cost oriented pricing – Mark-up, Break-even
• Value oriented pricing
– Value orientation
– Process to capture value for the firm
• Competition oriented pricing

Major Considerations
in Setting Price
The Value-Pricing Thermometer
Assessing True Economic Value
• TEV = cost of the next-best alternative + value
of the performance differential
Assessing TEV
Diesel car Petrol car
Life 100000 km 100000 km
Cost of each service (every 10000 5000
10000 Km)
Cost of running Rs 3 Per Km Rs 6 per Km
Price To be determined Rs 500000
TEV
• TEV = price of next best alternative + value of the
performance differential
• TEV = price of next best alternative + (Difference
in cost of running) – (Difference in cost of service)
• TEV = 500000 + {(6*100000)-(3*100000)} –
[(10*10000) –(10*5000)]
• TEV = 500000 + 300000 – 50000
• TEV = 750000
Assessing PV
Diesel car Petrol car
Life 100000 km 100000 km
Perceived Cost of each 15000 5000
service (every 10000 Km)
Perceived Cost of running Rs 4 Per Km Rs 6 per Km
Price To be determined Rs 500000
PV
• PV = price of next best alternative + perceived
value of the performance differential
• PV = price of next best alternative + (Perceived
difference in cost of running) – (Perceived
Difference in cost of service)
• PV = 500000 + {(6*100000)-(4*100000)} –
[(10*15000) –(10*5000)]
• PV = 500000 + 200000 – 100000
• PV = 600000

Question
• Should you charge same or different price
from the two customers ?
