Abstract: To analyze the influence of manufacturing cost information on decision-making and supply chain profit in supply chain contract under asymmetric information, a two-echelon retailer-led supply chain was considered. Under the assumption of manufacturer's production cost was his private information, the relationship between production costs' distribution and optimal production, supply chain profits and profit allocation was studied. The results showed that the greater the likelihood of high cost in the case of other conditions remain unchanged, the smaller the distortion of output and the supply chain profits, whereas the manufacturer's profit increase correspondingly; the smaller the estimated range of unit production cost, the smaller the distortion of output and the supply chain profits, the profit level of the two sides tended to the symmetric information level. The conclution was illustrated by numerical example and figures.
