<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.

The cost approach formula states that reproduction or replacement cost new _________________, __________________ equals property
alexira [117]

Answer:

<u>minus depreciation, </u>

<u>plus site value</u>

Explanation:

In real estate also, when charging for depreciation the depreciation is not charged on land value.

Here, site value means the value of land.

All the accrued depreciation has to be considered for this purpose.

This formula basically emphasises on the fact that if the total value of a property is not provided, it can be calculated based on the values of different  parts of the property, as including value of building, total depreciation, value of land provided separately.
