Northern Territory Company Is Considering Pricing Its 25 000-Litre Petroleum

Northern Territory Company is considering pricing its 25 000-litre petroleum tanks using either variable manufacturing or full product costs as the base.The variable cost base provides a prospective price of $23 000 and the full cost base provides a prospective price of $23 050.The difference between the two prices is:

A) the estimated amount of profit.
B) known as 'price discrimination'.
C) that the variable cost base estimates fixed costs in the mark-up percentage while the full cost base includes an amount for fixed costs.
D) caused by the inability of most companies to estimate fixed cost per unit with any degree of reliability.
