PART 2 Pricing strategy:

Here is the costing for 1000 unit of Panjabi based on true scenario:

Cost name
1)pasting 2)Fusing 3)bottom 4)fabric 5)thread FIXED COST *Electricity Rent Salary Conveyanc e Transportat ion

detail

200yards =120tk 20yards =1600tk 4000piece =2000tk 2400yards =204000 4 cone @85 =340

1000(approx) 4000 35000 2000 3000 253060

Total The chamber of this business decided that nobody cant sell below 350 . Market price 380. With own design market price is 450 . Per unit real cost is = (253060 /1000) =253.06 Tk *design charge 50 taka per price *swing charge with pattern cutting payable =85 per piece. This is the costing system he normally go through. But he apply different strategy ,like he always think that minimum his profit be 100 tk ,so he personally apply target costing . Without compromising the quality he focuses more on efficiency and effectiveness of labor. Expert take less time than that of fresher and do minimum wastage, so ultimately efficiency is possible in his production.

He also apply brilliant strategy sometimes he buy clothing for dress ,if he do so then his profit geometrically up ,like he get huge bye discount ,lot discount ,credit facilities and finally payment and transportation facilities . Ultimately his cost minimum but return is huge.

Costing description:
He basically goes through standard costing for pricing. Target costing for internal efficiency.

Profit strategy:
As an industry has already a standard price so he has to follow that for profit making. But doing something extraordinary he must apply some other mechanism which is his non tradable asset. He has very smart sense of burgeoning power and he maintain very good supply chain management .for that all the month long he get order ,due to financial crises he cant expand his business ,he is looking forward to his positive growth and development .so far next year he go for more business expansion .

i.e: cost plus, target profit, mark up, margin, standard costing, and premium product

Customer reaction on price:

Logically customers are willing to pay as much as they demand. Because there demand is very logical and practically viable, by consulting with customer he fixed his price .
