combination of price per unit and quantity of
sales that maximizes its profit on the assumption
that :
Lower price will result more units being sold
Greater volume will spread the indirect cost over more
units
2. Market Share Model
Based on assumption that long-run profitability
depends on the market share obtained by the
supplier (penetration pricing)

Margin Pricing Model
Example :
Cost - RM 50
Margin Rate – 25%
Example :
Supplier wanted a 20% return on its investment of
RM 300,000 (which might include R&D, equipment, etc.)
to make 4000 parts with a total cost of RM50 each.
Break-Even Unit :
TR = VC + FC
RM10 (x) = RM6 (x) + RM 30,000
RM4 X = RM 30,000
X = 7,500 units
