CBF Co uses cost-plus pricing.
Which of the following statements regarding cost-plus pricing
strategies are correct?
(1) Marginal cost-plus pricing is easier where there is a readily
identifiable variable cost.
(2) Full cost-plus pricing requires the budgeted level of output to be
determined at the outset.
(3) Cost-plus pricing is a strategically focused approach as it
accounts for external factors.
(4) Cost-plus pricing requires that the profit mark-up applied by an
organisation is fixed.
A)1 and 2
B)2,3 and 4
C)1,3 and 4
D)1,2,3,4
the above question has been taken from the kaplan study text.And the correct answer according to kaplan is B but i think here a mistake is made because 3 is definitely not correct because its the target costing which accounts for external factor not the cost plus pricing and costing.
What do you think?
Ask the Tutor ACCA PM
cost plus pricing
I agree - assuming you have copied the wording correctly, then 3 is definitely not correct.
@johnmoffat said: I agree - assuming you have copied the wording correctly, then 3 is definitely not correct.I exactly copied pasted it. And none of the options from A to B makes sense . Apparently it looks like options 1 and 4 are correct .Am i right?
