    Hello Tutor, I have a query about the pricing decision question,as below :

    “which of the following strategies could be used to price a new product?
    i. Absorption Costing
    ii. Price skimming
    iii. Price penetration
    iv. Cost plus pricing

    A. i and ii
    B. ii and iii
    C. ii, iii and iv
    D iii and iv

    My answer is C but is wrong and i wonder why the cost plus pricing cannot used to price a new product? I hope Tutor will help me to clarify this issue, thank you so much 🙂

    All of the strategies could be used – it is up to the company what strategy they use – but cost plus pricing is not sensible because it ignores any competition and ignores the affect of the selling price on the demand.

    Do watch my free lectures on pricing. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F5 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
