	Rate of return pricing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Target rate of return pricing is a pricing method used almost exclusively by market leaders or monopolists.

		If it’s predetermined rate of return requirement is amount A, B, then it will set its price at P*.

	Chapter 12
		In pricing based on cost, the marketing manager can apply markup pricing (adding a percentage to the product’s cost to set the price), rate-or-return pricing (adding a desired rate of return on investment to the total cost of the product), and breakeven analysis (determining sales volume to cover total costs).
		Pricing based on competition is primarily concerned with what the a firm’s competition prices products/services and then determining whether to price below, at, or above the competition.
		Pricing based on customer value evaluates what the customer is willing to pay for a product/service based off of the value they perceive they will receive.
