- $Fixed ext{ }cost imes (Variable ext{ }price ext{ }per ext{ }unit - Variable ext{ }cost ext{ }per ext{ }unit)$
- $\frac{Fixed ext{ }cost}{(Variable ext{ }price ext{ }per ext{ }unit - Variable ext{ }cost ext{ }per ext{ }unit)}$ (correct)

Study Notes
Pricing Objectives and Strategies
- BEP formula: Fixed cost divided by (Variable price per unit – Variable cost per unit)
- The market determines the price in practice
- Three basic pricing approaches: price skimming, penetration pricing, and status quo pricing
- Price tactic involves setting a base price and fine-tuning it with various pricing tactics
- Pricing objectives consider product demand, costs, profits, and trade-offs
- Profit maximization seeks to maximize total revenue relative to total costs
- Satisfactory profits aim for a reasonable level of profits consistent with the level of risk
- Target return on investment (ROI) measures management’s effectiveness in generating profits with available assets
- Market share is a company’s product sales as a percentage of total industry sales
