To Chris and the GvttftfWhy did you put A on 20?
If the demand is enalastic, doesnt it mean that we can further increase price without our sales decreasin? Thus option 1 favours a penetration policy – so answer CIf the demand is inelastic, that means we can charge more without affecting sales, so skimming pricing should be used not penetration, option A is correct.
Gvtftf
We enter market with low prices an gain a huge share. Than we increase our prices. As the demand is inelsatic – our huge share do not decrease. That is my logic.But if there was such question in BPP – than my logic is trash 🙂
Riskyguy – it’s about lunching a new product. So it doesnt mean that we can “charge more without affecting sales”, We don’t know yet.

So if lower prices give us the same sales demand as higher prices, then why not charge more?
You are right – increase in prices has no impact on sales. But – it s about entering the market – so there is impact on your market share when you state your prices.
q20 was A
i just doubled checked.
if you go to specimen paper for December 14, very similar question was in there.
Oleksandr, i see your logic, dont get me wrong. No kak ustanovlennoye pravilo, inelasticity is for skimming.

Can someone confirm the answer for the transfer price, that’s been bothering me even throughout my F8 exam today yeeks. And also the Activity based costing figure was it 46.20 or something like that???

And what about transfer pricing?
I guess both of these questions.
I think it was 78000 but now after t looking at the paper online I think it was 66000.
I’m confused between whether we were suppose to take the marginal cost or the transfer price.
Transfer Pricing was definitely $78,000.
The transfer price is a ficticious price between the two companies and is netted off at group level, so the $165 is irrelevant at group level which is what the question is asking for.Therefore, the marginal cost of $100 is what it costs A to make. Therefore if B are paying $40 extra for 2,200 units (140-100) that is a decrease of $88,000. Then fixed costs of $10,000 are added back on as they wouldn’t be needed anymore.
Therefore, a decrease of profit of $78,000.
And Gvt: yeah i done that in so rush and just picked 46.25
what about the Economy efficiceny and effectiveness?
