Pricing Analysis for SolarCal

This is the technique of looking at and judging a suggested price without judging its cost

components and suggested profit. Cost-based pricing is not preferred by the government; market-

based pricing is. When approved cost or pricing data are not required, the company uses pricing

unless an exception from the requirement to obtain certified cost or pricing data applies. As a

result, SolarCal uses the following techniques for pricing analysis.
