This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.231.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:15, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Rate of return pricing''' or Target-return pricing is a method of which a firm will set the price of its product based on their desired returns on said product.<ref>((Cite web |title=Target Return Pricing |url=https://www.monash.edu/business/marketing/marketing-dictionary/t/target-return-pricing |access-date=2022-04-28 |website=Monash Business School |language=en))</ref> The concept of rate return pricing is very similar to return on investment however, in this circumstance the company can manipulate its prices to achieve the desired goal. This method is used primarily by companies that either have a lot of capital or have a monopoly on the market and when an investor requests a specific return on their investment. In a competitive market rate of return pricing can be a poor market strategy as its focus at the final profit margins and does not account for supply and demand factors. If a competitor is able to set a lower price, it could decrease demand for the product resulting in a lower sales then forecasted and failing to reach the desired profit margin.

== Formula ==
The formula is: '''Target-return pricing = unit cost + [(desired return on investment * invested capital) / expected unit sales]'''<ref>((Cite web |title=Chapter 42: Target Return Pricing - Measuring Marketing [Book] |url=https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/measuring-marketing/9781501507229/content/87_chapter71.xhtml |access-date=2023-04-24 |website=www.oreilly.com |language=en))</ref>

For example, assume a firm invests $100 million in order to produce and market designer snowflakes, and they estimate that with demand for designer snowflakes being what it is, they can sell 2 million flakes per year. Further, from preliminary production data they know that at that level of output their average total cost is $50 per flake. Total annual costs would be $100 million (2 million units at $50 each). Next, management decides they want a 20% [[rate of return|return on investment]] (ROI) which is $20 million (20% of a $100 million investment).

Enter this data into the formula:

Target-return pricing = 50 + [(0.2 *100 million) / 2 million]

Target-return pricing = 50 + (20 million / 2 million)

Target-return pricing = 50 + 10

Target-return pricing = 60

Thus the price for the snowflakes will be $60 each.

== Advantages ==
Rate of return pricing enables firms to better assess the profitability of a product or service. It enables the cost of invested capital to be accounted when the setting price per unit and can be used to forecast the end monetary return of an exercise. It also helps the company in reaching certain profit goals' while maintaining liquidity.<ref>((Cite web |title=What is Rate Of Return Pricing? Definition of Rate Of Return Pricing, Rate Of Return Pricing Meaning |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/definition/rate-of-return-pricing |access-date=2023-04-24 |website=The Economic Times |language=en))</ref> Additionally, if market conditions are stable, forecasts for returns will be extremely accurate as a certain target is being used in pricing achievements are solely dependent on sales.

== Disadvantages ==
There are some disadvantages with this pricing method as due to its simple formula many real world factors are omitted hence, it only works within certain requirements. The market in which the company operates in must have high price elasticity with demand staying the same when prices increase the company must also either have a monopoly on the market or very little competition in the market. If there is high competition within the market than a competitor with a like-for-like product will be able to adjust their prices to shift market share towards their product. This will result in a decrease in sales and ultimately falling short of initial targets.

Another disadvantage there is no price buffer to allow for changes in market conditions and the impacts these may have on the cost of any product. As if demand decreases than operational costs will increase per unit produced. As unit cost increases so does the target-return price created a less desirable product. the biggest of the disadvantages is based on the assumption of how many units they are going to sell. Because a company can only estimate at the amount of units they are going to sell, it is not always going to be accurate. If they fall short of their estimates than they are guaranteed to not meet their desired ROI.

Ultimately supply and demand, customer preference, market events and competitor pricing strategies are externalities which are overlooked by rate of return pricing.
