expand this a a bit Cost-plus pricing is a straightforward strategy that involves adding a markup to the cost of products in order to determine the selling price. For Palladium Auto Parts, this would entail calculating the cost of acquiring or producing each auto part and adding a specific percentage on top to determine the selling price. This approach ensures that all costs, such as procurement, storage, and operating expenses, are covered while allowing for a reasonable profit margin. By taking into account the actual cost of the products, Palladium can avoid pricing them too low, which could lead to losses. It is important, however, for Palladium to carefully evaluate the appropriate markup percentage to strike a balance between affordability for customers and profitability for the business.
