In this note we present an efficient exact algorithm to solve the joint pricing and inventory problem for which Bhattacharjee and Ramesh (2000) proposed two heuristics. The algorithm is based on a method proposed by Thomas (1970) and we show additional properties which can be used to arrive at an even more efficient algorithm. Furthermore, we point out several shortcomings in the paper by Bhattacharjee and Ramesh.
