Answer 1

Answer:

Target costing

Explanation:

-Everyday low pricing is when companies offer low prices on their products all the time.

-Cost-plus pricing is when companies determine the cost of the product and add the profit margin they need to establish the price of the product.

-Target costing is when companies establish a target cost for the product by taking the price and subtracting the margin they expect from it.
