Answer:
A. penetration pricing
Explanation:
Penetration pricing strategy is an approach where a business seeks to gain a sizeable market share by offering a product at a reduced price. The penetration strategy is mostly used when introducing a new product in a competitive market. Marketers use reduces prices to entice customers to buy the and new product.
Penetration pricing strategy aims at changing customer preferences by introducing a new, low-priced product. There is always a risk that customers will perceive this new and low-priced product to be of inferior quality. Middle and high-end customers are more likely to view a low-cost product item as not of their desired standard
Table/indexed.
Let's look at the three options and see what their advantages and disadvantages are:
Contiguous - In this scheme, the file is stored in contiguous blocks of the disk. It allows for easy random access of the data, but requires a contiguous sequence of blocks large enough to handle the entire file. Since the size of the file specified in this question varies quite a bit over it's lifespan, you're either going to be wasting a lot of space by having an allocation large enough to handle the maximum sized file, or the file will need to be copied whenever it grows and "bumps" into a file that was allocated after it. Because of this, this method is not the best.
Linked - The file is stored as a single, or double linked list of file blocks. This allows for the file to grow or shrink as needed, using only the amount of space needed for the file. Unfortunately, this storage scheme doesn't allow for random access of the file contents and the file can only be accessed sequentially. The question for this problem doesn't specify how the file is being accessed, so as long as random access isn't required, then this would be a reasonable allocation scheme. But I'm assuming that random access will be required, in which case, this scheme isn't ideal.
table/indexed - In this scheme, some disk blocks are used as tables to point to other disk blocks that actually contain the file data. It's almost as fast as contiguous allocation for random access of the file contents, yet allows for the growth and shrinkage of a file like linked allocation. As such, it handles all use cases at a relatively minor cost in total storage required. So this would be the most appropriate allocation scheme since the file access behavior wasn't specified in this question.

Answer:
under activity-based costing the sum of all product costs does not equal the total costs of the company.
Explanation:
The method of an activity-based costing system can be used use to find the total cost of all the activities that are required to make a product. This system also helps to find out which overhead costs can be avoided.
An activity-based costing system that is designed for internal decision-making will not conform to generally accepted accounting principles because under activity-based costing the sum of all product costs does not equal the total costs of the company.
