    Hello , Good afternoon .

    According to the lifecycle costing method , which two of the following statements regarding the stages of life cycle are true ?
    a) At the introduction stage , further capital expenditure will be needed as production capacity will need to increase to meet demand .
    b) The maturity stage occurs when the market has reached ‘ saturation point ‘ and bought enough of the product .
    c) The majority of a product’s life cycle costs are determined by decisions which are made at the design and development stage .
    d) The growth stage , when sales will have reached their peak and become stable , will be the most profitable stage .

    The answer was given as a) and c) . Pls explain how ‘a ‘ is true and ‘b’ is false . I thought Further capex will be incurred in the growth stage and initial investment in the introductory stage .

    Please clarify : )
    Thank you !

    For b) being false I would suggest “saturation point”is more indicative of the decline stage.
