    ACCA · Question 8 · Decision-making techniques

    Section A

    A software startup has developed a revolutionary AI-driven video editing tool. There are currently no direct competitors. The company needs to recover its high initial development costs quickly before competitors enter the market in 12-18 months.

    Which pricing strategy is MOST appropriate for this product?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Market penetration

    B.

    Market skimming

    C.

    Target pricing

    D.

    Marginal cost pricing

    How to approach this question

    Match the scenario (high R&D, short monopoly period) to the strategy that maximizes early cash flows.

    Full Answer

    B.Market skimming✓ Correct
    Market skimming involves setting a high initial price for a new, innovative product. This strategy is ideal when there is a short-term monopoly and high initial R&D costs to recover. Early adopters are willing to pay a premium, allowing the company to maximize short-term revenues before competitors enter and force prices down.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing skimming with penetration. Penetration is used to gain mass market share quickly with low prices.
