Why lifecycle costing doesnt help in setting price of a product? According to bpp book, life cycle costing is not concerned with setting price of a product. But can’t we set price by analysing total lifecycle costs of a product. Why is it incorrect?
I don’t have the BPP Study Text so I cannot see the context in which they wrote what you say.
The main focus of life-cycle costing is obviously to determine the costs. However the costs can certainly be useful in helping to determine a selling price (but is not the only factor involved in deciding a selling price, as explained in my free lectures).
