Agenda
• Definitions of key terms and some questions• Cost Mark up and Gross Margin Pricing
Methods• Pricing Model• Affect of Discounts• Next Steps
Definitions
• Cost of Goods Sold = the sum of the costs related to the products or services sold– Fixed Costs e.g. equipment– Variable Costs are volume related e.g. materials– Classification and Assigning
How are you defining and allocating your costs?
What level of review do you have in place?
Definitions
• Gross Profit = Difference between Sales and Cost of Good Sold
• Gross Margin – Generally is stated in percent
– Gross Profit divided into Sales– Gross Margin Dollars is the
same as Gross Profit
Sales = 125.00 COGS = 75.00 Gross Profit = 50.00Gross Margin = 40% (50/125*100)How have your margins been
tracking?
Definitions
• Expenses– Fixed Expenses e.g. headcount– Variable Expenses e.g. office supplies, travel– Discretionary
What are your biggest expenses? How much discretionary spend do you
have? How are you controlling them?
Definitions
• Contribution Margin (Dollars)– Sales less variable costs– Excellent to use to compare what products or
services contribute more to your profitability – Analyze for opportunities to reduce costs
What are your Contributions Margins by Product or Services?
Check Point
• Know your total fixed costs and expenses
– What makes it up?– This number is a key baseline number that you
must recover through profits– Look for ways to minimize these• Ideas?
What is your Number?
Definitions
• Break Even = What volume of units do you need to sell to recover all your fixed costs and expenses?– Calculate Total– For each Product or Service
What is your break even level?
Break Even Working Example
Selling price = $125.00Fixed Costs and Expenses total = $250,000 *Variable Cost = $75.00
Breakeven = Total Fixed Costs and Expenses divided by (Selling price – Variable Cost)
Step 1 $125.00 - $75.00 = $50.00Step 2 $250,000/$50.00 = 5,000 units
Break Even Working Example
Therefore Total Sales must be at least
5,000 units X $125.00 = $625,000
What is your total sales needed? How are you tracking?
Cost Mark up and Gross Margin Pricing Methods
• Cost Mark –up– Add a dollar value to your Cost to determine
Selling Price– Apply a factor to your costs to Determine your
Selling Price• Gross Margin– Use a predetermined desired Margin to determine
your Selling Price
Cost Mark up and Gross Margin Pricing Methods Compared
Cost Mark up Cost = $75.00Mark up = $30.00 or 40%
Selling Price = $105.00Calculated as:$75.00 +$30.00=$105.00or$75.00*1.40= $105.00
Profit = $30.00 (28.6%)
Gross MarginCost = $75.00Desired Margin % = 40%
Selling Price = $125.00Calculated as:$75.00/(1-.40)=$125.00
Profit = $50.00 (40%)
