27、hich can be indicated as follows.为了把握好商品定价,给出口商品定价有三种基本方式:Cost-plus pricing approach 成本加成法 It is one in which the exporter calculates his costs and adds the desired mark-up to cover unassigned costs either in total or per unit.The chief merit of this approach is its simplicity.就是出口商计算出成本,再加上预期加成,以填补
28、总产或单产中未分摊成本。这种办法主要长处是简朴以便。第22页第22页Break-even pricing approach 收支平衡法 It is a method in use by a number of firms which extends the cost approach somewhat along with the road to considering the market,and also the method of determining the quantity of sales at which the firms revenues will equal its co
29、st identifying a break-even point at the specific price.Thus,there is a different break-even point for different selling price.Sales of quantities above the break-even point output result in a profit on each unit.The further the sales are above the break-even point,the higher the total and unit prof
30、its.Sales below the break-even point result in a loss to the seller.第23页第23页 它是许多企业采取方法。它在一定意义上是企业将成本加成法延伸,并考虑市场一个方法,而且是决定企业收入等于支出时销售量确定在某一特定价格时损益平衡点方法。因此,每一不同售价都有其不同损益平衡点。超出该点销售量每个单位产品都产生利润。销售量超出损益平衡点越多,总产和单产带来利润就越高。低于该点销售量,会使卖方产生亏损。第24页第24页Marginal pricing approach 边际成本法 Sometimes the export price

33、cost pricing is a generally used method to price an export product effectively.第25页第25页 有时因为市场复杂性及制订政策时考虑不同,所定出口价格比国内价格要低得多。在各种情况下企业生产能力大于国内市场容量,商人自然不愿意降低其价格。边际成本法关键在于视国内销售与出口销售分离,而把出口销售视为额外销售。假如国内销售就可收回固定成本,那么就能够认为出口产品额外成本只是可变成本。边际成本法是通常给出口商品定价有效方法。第26页第26页5.Price calculating 成本核实成本核实(1)Profit and
34、loss rate for export goods 出口商品盈亏率 出口商品盈亏率是指该商品出口盈亏额与出口总成本比率。盈亏额是指出口销售人民币净收入与出口总成本差额,前者不小于后者为赢,反之为亏。其公式为:出口商品盈亏率出口商品盈亏率 出口销售人民币净收入出口总成本出口销售人民币净收入出口总成本 出口总成本出口总成本 出口总成本是指出口商品进货或生产成本加上出口前一切费用和税金。出口销售人民币净收入是指出口商品FOB价按外汇牌价折算成人民币 第27页第27页(2)Foreign exchange cost of export products 出口商品换汇成本 出口商品换汇成本核实是指该商
