Government-guided price: refers to the price set by the competent pricing department of the government or other relevant departments in accordance with the provisions of the Price Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), and specifies the benchmark price and its floating range according to the pricing authority and scope to guide operators in pricing.
Regional guidance price: The government or enterprises will give a certain mandatory price according to local income, consumption habits and other comprehensive factors, combined with their own authority and product characteristics.
Manufacturer's guide price: refers to the selling price of a commodity to consumers. Due to the use of value-added tax, consumption tax and customs duties, some sellers change the out-of-price tax into the in-price tax, which artificially increases profits and leads to abnormally high commodity prices. In order to curb this phenomenon, after considering various reasons, manufacturers give a sales reference price, that is, the manufacturer's guide price.
Extended data:
Government guidance prices are generally divided into the following categories according to the current price management measures:
First, the benchmark price and floating range are stipulated by the state, which is highly permissible and the market supply and demand change rapidly.
The second is the maximum price. The state sets the highest price of commodity sales and allows enterprises to float downwards. Usually used in the following aspects: limiting the rise of retail commodity prices in the market, such as setting a maximum price limit for pork, eggs and road vegetables; Impose a maximum price on imported goods to prevent their commodity prices from being too high and stimulate domestic inflation; The industrial products such as salt, matches and kerosene in remote areas are subject to the maximum price, and the resulting policy losses are subsidized by the government.
The third is the minimum protection price. The state sets the minimum price for the sale of goods. Allow enterprises or buyers and sellers to float upwards. It is usually used to prevent prices from plummeting due to temporary oversupply, thus hitting production. It is an important means to protect agricultural production.
The fourth is the price of price difference rate management. Operating profits (purchase profits, wholesale and retail profits) are stipulated by the state, allowing enterprises to set and adjust specific prices according to the stipulated profits on the basis of purchase prices. Usually applicable to the price management of some commodities in commodity circulation.
The fifth is the price managed according to the profit rate. The state stipulates the maximum profit rate for enterprises to produce and operate a product, and allows enterprises to independently set and adjust specific prices within the specified profit level.
