How are prices shown on the price list?

• A. Prices are shown as a fixed charge or per unit charge
• B. Prices shown as hourly rate only
• C. Prices shown as a percentage of buyer income
• D. Prices shown as negotiable by customer

Answer: (A)

Pricing on a price list is presented as fixed charges or per-unit charges because this format gives clear, upfront totals and makes comparison straightforward. A fixed charge covers a one-time fee that doesn’t vary with quantity, while per-unit pricing handles items or components that depend on how many units or selections a customer chooses. This approach supports transparency and predictability for families planning services.

Hourly rates introduce uncertainty, since the total would depend on estimating how long services take. A price expressed as a percentage of a buyer’s income would distort the actual cost of goods and services and isn’t how prices are set. And a price list that is negotiable by the customer undermines published transparency—the list should reflect standard rates, with any discounts or negotiations handled separately.
