The methodology adopted was the survey and empirical approach, with the administration of questionnaire to some SMEs in Nigeria, the financial report of a major sample company was also evaluated to measure the significant impact of pricing on profitability. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient statistical tool, the student t-test as well as the accounting financial ratios were used to measure the impact of change in price on the the profitability of the sampled company.
