mark-up

Japanese: mark-up(英語表記)markup
mark-up

… The basic pricing policies (see the section on price formation) are (1) cost-based policies, (2) policies that respond to consumer behavior, and (3) competitor-based policies. (1) Cost-plus pricing is the method of determining the selling price by adding a fixed markup (usually customary profit) to the cost of the product, and (b) variable markup pricing is the method of determining the selling price by varying the markup as appropriate while taking into account various factors. (2) Examples of pricing include (a) prestige pricing, which takes advantage of the consumer psychology that the higher the price, the higher the product and the higher the user's status, as in the case of cosmetics; (b) customary pricing, as was once seen with caramel and soap, where a certain customary price exists, and if the price is raised, sales drop drastically, and if the price is lowered, sales do not increase much, so the customary price is maintained for a long period of time; (c) odd pricing, which tries to give the impression of a bargain by setting a fractional price such as 98 yen or 998 yen; and (d) price lining policy, which makes it easier for consumers to choose by limiting the price to the best-selling price, and simplifies inventory management.
