   | 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.
