What Are Discounts? When & Why Do They Occur? Categories: Main Page Last Modified: February 10, 2007 13:10 Article ID: 10044
The National Industry regulates prices based on global stock levels and global demand relative to population levels. This governs the market price (NI price) system-wide in each product. Companies with stock above the market price will be penalised with sales discounts by the price regulator. The Market Leader in each Licence is given a greater tolerance and can set its price up to a maximum of 10% above the current market price. (See FAQ on benefits of Market Leader).
Discounts are scaled as follows:- •1% above market price = 10% discounted from sales •2% above market price = 20% discounted from sales •3% above market price = 30% discounted from sales •4% above market price = 40% discounted from sales •5% above market price = 50% discounted from sales 50% loss of sales is the maximum
The amount of discount appears in each Licence stock window immediately after the tick. The prices are dynamic as they respond to ever-changing market trends population levels capacity/demand upsizings, etc. and should be checked regularly to avoid discounts.
