    Chair 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), (2) and (4)
    B (1) and (2) only
    C (3) and (4)
    D (1) and (3)

    The answer was B how ever when explaining the second option about full cost-Plus. It says “The budgeted volume of output does need to be determined for full cost-plus pricing as it would be used to calculate the overhead
    absorption rate for the calculation of the full cost per unit”

    if its so why they choose as correct

    But it is correct, for the reason they are stating. To get the full cost you need to absorb the fixed overheads, and you need to know the budgeted production to be able to absorb the overheads.
