In this note, we study the concurrent determination of pricing and inventory replenishment decisions for a perishable product in an infinite horizon. Demands in consecutive periods are independent and influenced by prices charged in each period. In particular, we treat price as a decision variable to maximize the total discounted profit. We analyze the optimal solution-structure of a two-period lifetime problem and from insights gained in numerical experiments, develop a base-stock/list-price heuristic policy for products with arbitrary fixed lifetimes. Experiments show this policy to be effective.
