 1. Distributive, which is associated with the possibility of price

income between sectors of the economy, its sectors, various forms of
compiling ownership, regions, funds of accumulation and consumption, various
social groups. This price function also involves accounting for the price

 3. Accounting. That is, being a monetary expression of value, prices
show how much it costs society to meet a specific need for a product
or service. Price measures how much labor, raw materials, materials
that make up the product, spent on the manufacture of goods,
characterizes the efficiency with which labor is used.
 4. Measuring. The price serves the circulation of goods and ensures the
realization of economic interests of all relatively independent participants in
the trade: producer, intermediary, consumer. In this capacity, it acts as the
amount of money (goods and services) paid and received per unit of goods or
services. Thanks to the price, you can measure, determine the amount of

its functions:
 6. Functions of balancing supply and demand. Prices are the link between
production and consumption, supply and demand. Excessively high or low
prices indicate disparities in production and circulation. With the emergence
of imbalances in the economy, equilibrium can be achieved by changing
production or changing prices. Demand expresses the need for goods by the
buyer if he has the opportunity to buy goods. This is practically expressed in
the establishment of an inverse relationship between the market price and the
number of goods purchased.

so the pricing methods can be used in different ways. Here are some
of them:

 The calculation of the price by the method of "average costs plus


profit" is the most widely used in tourism. According to him, the price
(P) is determined by the formula:

 P = AC + PR,
 where: AC - average costs (selfcost);

 PR - the amount of profit in the price set by the company.


The calculation of the
price on the basis of a
fixed profit is that the  The price is set using the formula:
