  3. Agenda • Determining a Fair Price • Types of Purchases • Methods of Price Determination • Identical Prices • Cost Analysis • Negations • Futures and Commodities • Pricing Information Sources • Case

  4. Price Determination • Supplier needs to be paid a “fair price” • In the long run total sales need to cover total costs, including a reasonable profit Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  5. Direct costs: those that can be accurately assigned to a given unit of production Indirect costs: those that are incurred during the operation of production Variable costs: vary directly and proportionally with production output Fixed costs: remain constant Semivariable costs: partly variable and partly fixed Cost Classification Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  6. Establishing Price • Depends on commodity and industry • Two traditional methods • Cost Approach • Price should be a certain amount over direct costs • Market Approach • Price fluctuates with supply and demand Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  7. Government Influence • Active role in determining prices • production quotas • wage/price controls • Regulates buyer/seller relationship Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  8. United States Legislation • Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 • Combination, conspiracy, or collusion with the intent of restricting trade in interstate commerce is illegal • Robinson-Patman Act • Federal Anti-price Discrimination Act of 1936 • Suppliers must sell the same item, in the same quantity, to all customers at the same price • “one-price law” Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  9. Canadian Legislation • Differs from the U.S. but intent is the same • Suppliers or buyers may not “conspire, combine, agree, or arrange with another person” to raise prices unreasonably or to otherwise restrain competition • It is illegal for a supplier to grant a price concession to one buyer that is not available to all other buyers Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  10. Types of Purchases • Raw Materials • Special Items • Standard Product Items • Items of Small Values • Capital Goods • Services • Resale Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  14. Methods of Price Determination STEPS INVOLVED IN COMPETATIVE BIDDING 1) Initial selection of sources: • Should be able to supply the item • Deliver on time • Reliable • Competitiveness • Not more numerous than necessary 2) Wording of requests • Complete description of item • Date bid is to be returned Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  15. Methods of Price Determination 3) Submission of bids • Keep the bids confidential 4) Treatment of quotations • Keep sealed until all quotations are final 5) Quotation analysis • Consistent bid specifications • Other costs Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  16. Methods of Price Determination Firm Bidding -The policy -Temptations to cheat for the buying firm -Benefits -The alternative (BAFOS) Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  17. Methods of Price Determination The Collusive Bidding Problem -Legal Action -Accept reality -Seek out of area sources -Substitution -Reject bids Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  18. Identical Prices • Intensive competition or collusion? • Investigate when: • Prices differs from historical pricing patterns • Communication between sellers and buyers • “Artificial” product standardization • Very specific requirements • Deviation from uniform prices (industry wide) Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  19. Identical Pricing When it occurs: • Re-bid or negotiate with 1-2 suppliers • Award contract to: • Smallest firm/Market share • Largest domestic content • Will grant non-price concessions • Best past performance Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  20. Identical Prices • How to avoid: • Use small sellers • Split large contracts among bidders • Firm bidding (no revision) • Use criteria that ensures non-identical bids Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  21. Use of Negotiation • Attempt to find an agreement that allows both parties to realize their objectives. • Appropriate for: • Large dollar purchases (> $50,000) • Seller’s market • Single provider • Costly procedure Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  22. Use of Negotiation • Areas to negotiate on: • Quality • Customer Support • Supply • Transportation • Price • Negotiating is not Price Haggling Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  23. Price Changes • Guarantee against price decline • Price Protection Clause • Escalator Clause • Most-Favoured-Customer Clause • A valid contract must include a price or a method of price determination. Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  24. Discounts • Two types: • Indefensible legally or commercially • Inside prices • Legitimate & fair • Cash or quantity discounts Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  25. Price-Discount Problem • What is the best quantity to order? • Given: R = 900 units (annual demand) S = $50 (order cost) K = 0.25 (carrying cost) C = (cost of quantities) $45 0-199 units/order $43 200-399 units/order $41.50 400-799 units/order $40 800+ units/order Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  26. Price-Discount Problem • Solution is quantity with lowest total cost

  27. Rationale for Not Conducting Cost Analysis • In many cases suppliers do not know their true costs • Some suppliers will not divulge such information • Seller’s costs do not determine market prices • Buyer only concerned with getting the best product, at the best price, in the right quantity Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  28. Rationale for Conducting Cost Analysis • General costing data will help assess the reasonableness of the quoted price • First-buyers cannot complain if efficient suppliers end up out of business if pricing below cost • Second-buyers cannot maintain an attitude of indifference when suppliers sell below cost and then become intensely concerned when prices rise drastically when the suppliers fight to stay in business Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  29. Total Cost of Ownership TCO defined “All relative costs, such as purchasing administration, follow-up, expediting, inbound transportation, inspection and testing, rework, storage, scrap, warranty, service, downtime, customer returns, and lost sales.” Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  30. Reducing TCO Supplier Cost Reduction: • Long-term purchase agreements • Joint cost-reduction programs • Early supplier involvement in design • Commitments to purchase suppliers’ capacity Buyer Cost Reduction: • Technical support • Training • Asset sharing or other financial support • Proprietary technology Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  31. Activity-Based Costing • Aims to turn indirect costs into direct costs by tracking cost drivers behind indirect costs • Used to determine value added and which do not • Those which don’t are eliminated • One method used to reduce TCO Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  32. Forward Buying and Commodities • Forward buying ensures supply • price is a secondary concern • Speculation seeks to take advantage of price movements • supply is a secondary concern • Gambling aims at predicting price trends with little knowledge or experience Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  33. Forward Buying • Risk management is key in commodity acquisition • Used to provide company with a more stable price environment • hedging will make you either better off or worse off depending on price movements • No foolproof method to ensure proper forward buying • recommended that the company sets up procedures Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  34. Commodities Exchanges Conditions for a Successful Exchange: • Accurate grading • Liquid market Hedging Requires the Following Conditions: • Trading in “Futures” - the buying and selling of the commodity for delivery at a specified future date • A fairly close correlation between “basis” and other grades • A reasonable but not necessarily consistent correlation between “spot” and “future” prices Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  35. Limitations of the Exchanges • Grading often inaccurate • Most contracts are offset with an opposite position so supply must be received from another location • Markets can be manipulated or affected by financial markets Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  36. Hedging: What is it? • It is price insurance • Done by simultaneously making a purchase and a sale in the same market but at different times. • A loss in one position will be offset by a gain in the other position • Not always advantageous • it is a zero-sum game Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  37. Case Please refer to Case 9-5 on page 404 Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case

  38. Some Points to Remember…. • Purchases made on the 1st of the month • NO futures • Inv. cannot be >1.2 million lbs (penalty is $2000 plus $0.06 per lb over 1.2M) • Stock out costs are $0.06/lb • Inventory carrying cost is $0.004/lb on ending inv • Closing inventory target of 200,000 lbs Determining a Fair Price Types of Purchases Methods of Price Determination Identical Prices Cost Analysis Negotiations Futures & Commodities Pricing Information Sources Case
