	Price increases and decreases		2009-09-02
		From craig: I work for an industry that bases it price increases and decreases on commodity pricing - Customer get confused on how/why we calculated new prices due to movement in the market - Price go up x% for every $10 of movement in the market - For this example- Movement went down by $30 and it is 2% for every $10 - so price decrease was 6%. Customer's price is currently $100. We say - $100/1.06= new price of $94.3 Customer says - $100*.94= new price of $94. They don't understand that if board went back up $30 which would be 6% increase, they wouldn't be back at $100 if they multiplied on the price decrease. $94*1.06=$99.64 vs. $94.3*1.06=$100 (Back to the original price) What is the best way to explain to customer besides using this example? Any help or info is appreciated. Craig Answered by Victoria West.
