N4100 User’s Guide

This is an example of how charge by levels accounting works. The discount price 
plan allows you to make the unit price lower as the subscriber purchases more 
(meaning a higher number of button pushes). The Unit Price for level 1 is always 
the same as the base charge ($2.00 for this example). The following screen has 
discount price level 2 set to $1.75 and level 3 set to $1.50. Taxes are not included 
in this example.
