What Is It
APPLYING THE RULES OF PRODUCTION TO AN ENTERPRISE
The rules of production describe the behavior of the business condition in the aspect
of profit, loss, payment and production. Total Revenue or TR represents income;
while Total Cost or TC reveals expenses.
How will you know when to produce more? When to stop producing? When to
maintain production? Each situation below follows a decision. Remember what to do
in the following instances:
What will be your decision, when the TR (INCOME) of your business is equal to TC
(EXPENSES)?
EXAMPLE: TR = TC
2,000 = 2000
EXAMPLE: TR = TC
5,000 = 8,000
DECISION: The production needs to stop.
What action do you need to take if you have greater TR than your TC?
EXAMPLE: TR = TC
10,000 = 7,000
The cost of the product or service is done on estimate approach. It is vital to list down
and determine the costing to make a product or to deliver a service. It does not
matter how big or small your business is. What is important is to know and estimate
the cost of your production or service delivery. There are factors that cause successful
industries to fail because they are not aware of their costs.
What are the benefits if you know your costs? Look at the chart below and find out
how helpful it is to know the cost of your business:
7
Now that you know the importance of the production cost, how will you compute for
your costs? Here is how to do it:
8
Can you compute now for the total direct costs of the bench? Get the sum of the total
direct labor, costs per wood bench, total direct material and costs per wood bench.
Analyze the computation below:
Let us say that the entrepreneur targets for 1,500 wood benches:
P202,800.00 = P135.20
1,500
9
The total cost of the bench now becomes:
Direct cost per bench P380.00
Add: Indirect cost per bench 515.20
TOTAL COST PER BENCH P895.20
Computation for the total costs:
The entrepreneur’s computation of the wood bench is based on 1,500 sales units
for a year. If there will be no increase in indirect costs, then the indirect cost
will be:
P772, 800 = P 515.20
1,500
The total cost of the bench now becomes:
LET US REMEMBER
The rules of production are helpful to the entrepreneurs. These will guide
him to know what and how to decide on his production. It tells when they need
to produce more, when to stop production or when to maintain the production.
Likewise, it is good for all the business enterprises to know the computation of
their production to avoid failure of business operations.

DETERMINE PRICING OF
Lesson
PRODUCTS AND
2 SERVICES USING PRICING
MODEL
In this lesson, you will appreciate how to decide for the market price of
your products or services and choose your own pricing strategy.
LET US STUDY
WORDS TO STUDY
Mark-up represents the difference between what is paid for the
merchandise and its end price to the clients
Pattern refers to an outline or model of one thing
Price indicates value of a commodity or service in the form of money
Product the result of the input and process in the form of output
Services is a type of business that has no product but purely services
Strategy is an approach or method used in business
12
convenience, delivery, easy credit options, guarantees, quality, safety and service
are only secondary concerns.
As a young entrepreneur, what is your idea about the different pricing
strategies? You may consider one of the following pricing strategies if you still
do not have your own strategy:
• Value-based pricing (price increases when there are evident results)
• Posting P9.95 instead of P10; P24.50 instead of P25.00; and others
• Value pack (mixture of clustered products with varied prices in one pack or
bag)
• Cost-plus-pricing method (setting up price targeting specific profit)
• High Price Approach aiming to set quality and status. It is also called as
prestige strategy
• Penetration market is common to the new entrepreneurs. They are doing
it in order to establish market and build up more customers.
• Free tasting (Sampling Approach)
• Result pay scheme (Trial Method)
Before you do the final pricing, you have to know the value of the total
revenues (TR) and the total costs (TC). When TR is greater than TC, your business
gained profit. If the TR is lesser than TC, it is loss. In instances that the TR and
TC are equal, there is neither profit nor loss. It is called break-even. Break even
analysis is used as an instrument or a tool to solve managerial problems helpful
among business leaders and economists.
Here are some models in pricing goods and services. These will help you
to know how you can compute prices of your own product and service business.
Find out if this pricing scheme is appropriate to use in the production of your
business:
13
VOLUME PRICE = P8, 910.00
UNIT PRICE = P74.25
Let us find out how much you will sacrifice to invest for a possible goodwill
using the data above:
Unit price per laundry service P32.00 x 10 kilos -5% discount/10
= P32.00x10-5% /10
= P320.00-P16.00/10
= P30.40
LET US REMEMBER
14
every entrepreneur. The use of models or standard samples of computation will
facilitate the correct pricing procedure.
1. Assuming that you need to supply a school canteen of bottled mineral water,
500 ml with a cost of P6.50/bottle, how do you determine the price per bottle?
Please explain your answer below by showing the computation.
