The newest version of a product like Crutchfield headphones is likely to use price skimming, while the new version of Monster Energy is likely to use penetration pricing
<h3>What is
price skimming?</h3>
Price skimming is a pricing strategy that a company can use when launching a new product or service.
Electronic products, such as the Apple iPhone, frequently use a price-cutting strategy during the initial launch period. Then, after competitors launch competing products, such as the Samsung Galaxy, the price of the product drops to maintain the product's competitive advantage.
The pricing strategy will be influenced by the stage of the product's life cycle. The process of charging a relatively high price for a product is referred to as price skimming. Skimming is commonly used when a product is new to the market (in its introduction or growth phase) and has few competitors.

Answer: $800 less than standard for the achieved level of activity
Explanation:
A flexible budget variance refers to the difference that occurs between the results that are gotten by a flexible budget model and the actual results gotten.
Since the flexible-budget variance is $800 favorable for unit-related costs, this indicates that costs were $800 less than standard for the achieved level of activity.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
Answer:
Consider the following explanation.
Explanation:
The six different strategies (spreads or combinations) the investor can follow:
1)short Butterfly spread: it’s a spread with selling one call option with the lowest strike price(XL),purchasing two call options with the medium strike price(XM) and selling one call option with the highest strike price (XH) , XL<XM<XH. The strike price (XM) is generally chosen such that its equal to the stock price and options are of same maturity. The strategy shall generate the net income from the selling of calls when the stock price deviated from the strike price XM due to the high volatility. A high jump either way guarantees a net income.
2) The Straddle combination with long one put and long 1 call with the same strike price X and maturity. Its payoff depends on the deviation of the strike price if the big jump either way is expected then either the put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness(payoffs) covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The high jump either way guarantees a big payoff from either the put or the call.
3)In the Strangle combination there is one long call with strike price (Xc) and one long put with strike price Xp,this combination is cheaper to generate due to purchase of OTM(out of the money) options. If the big jump either way is expected then either the put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness (payoffs) covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The high jump either way guarantees a big payoff from either the put or the call. It’s easier to cover all the lesser premiums paid for the call and put and generate profits with a big move.
4) The Strip combination consists of 1 call+2 put with same exercise price and maturity. If the big jump either way is expected then either the two put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The payoff generated by the 2 puts is much more when the stock moves downwards as compared to when the stock moves upwards. Investor is sure of the uncertain directional big jump but thinks that the probability of downward move is greater than the upward move.
5) The Strap combination consists of 2 calls+1 put with same exercise price and maturity. If the big jump either way is expected then either the 1 put or the 2 calls expires in the money so that the moneyness covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The payoff generated by the 2 calls is much more when the stock moves upwards as compared to when the stock moves downwards. Investor is sure of the uncertain directional big jump but thinks that the probability of upward move is greater than the downward move.
6) Short Calendar spread: short shorter term call and at the same time short longer term call therefore the income is generated by the big move from the premiums of the calls and differences in the maturity.
