Flexible pricing has been suggested as a means of effectively and efficiently allocating computer resources. The flexible pricing systems that have been implemented, however, tend to arrive at pricing schedules through the intuitive abilities of those individuals responsible for administering the pricing system. This paper will present an analytical technique for determining a pricing schedule and include it within a management control system for the allocation of computer resources. An example of the control system in operation is also provided. (Received November 1973)
