    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?

    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?
