Additionally, in this special condition of price increase, deviation from the basic plan will result in a penalty for retailer and it is considered as penalty cost in objective function. The retailer profit is maximised through the determination of retailer ordering and pricing decisions. This paper considers that the demand of customers is price-dependent.
