    Abstract: A method of creating a per quantity price for an item for use by a price management system includes the step of utilizing a computer that includes relational database software. The method also includes the steps of determining a final price (FP) for the item and adjusting the FP by a slope quantity percent (SQP) that is based on a quantity of the item sold and on data stored on the computer to arrive at a pre-slope price (PSP). The method further includes the steps of identifying a benchmark price (BP) for the item, calculating a base quantity percent (BQP) for the item based on the PSP and BP, and providing the BQP for the item to the price management system for use in pricing orders for that item.
