Answer: possible options:
A.growth market is to a differentiation-based strategy
B. broadly-defined target market is to a cost leadership strategy
C. growth market is to a cost-based strategy
D. technological innovation is to cost-based strategy
Answer is B
Explanation:
Companies that use a cost leadership strategy and those that use a differentiation strategy share one important characteristic: both groups try to be attractive to customers in general. These efforts to appeal to a broad range of consumers can be contrasted with strategies that involve targeting a relatively narrow niche of potential customers. These latter strategies are known as focus strategies (Porter, 1980).
Focused cost leadership is the first of two focus strategies. A focused cost leadership strategy requires competing based on price to target a NARROW MARKET. A firm that follows this strategy does not necessarily charge the lowest prices in the industry. Instead, it charges low prices relative to other firms that compete within the target market. For example, you might be able to buy milk cheaper by driving to a big-box grocery store in your local community or town, but the local corner store is the cheapest within walking distance. Redbox, a major DVD rental company, uses vending machines placed outside grocery stores and other retail outlets to rent DVDs of movies for $1. There are ways to view movies even cheaper, such as through the flat-fee streaming video subscriptions offered by Netflix. But among firms that rent actual DVDs, Redbox offers unparalleled levels of low price and high convenience.

Answer:
1. Apart from helping to know the average cost of a product, analyzing fixed and variable cost will help to derive the break even point.
2. Profit will go down
Explanation:
1. The size of the selling price and the variable cost determine contribution per unit of a product. Contribution per unit is Price minus variable cost. This shows the contribution of sales revenue towards covering the fixed cost of a product.
2. Relevant range is the estimated or budgeted activity level which defines a business volume of production or operation, it is both maximum and minimum threshold within which the entity must operate to expect certain level of cost and revenue.
Sometimes fixed costs are fixed within a relevant range of activities and outside such range, fixed cost may become variable, which will all things being equal impact negatively on the price.
Also, within relevant range volume discount may be achieved and outside such range, this may be forfeited which, will also reduce profit all things being equal.
