1. Three partners choose to go the start-up way. They run a chain of Pet Spa across

prices for materials. Hence, while preparing their financial statements, the three partners
had varying objectives behind the method they should adopt for pricing the materials.
Objective I: The partners wished to hypothecate inventory and take a loan. Hence, a
higher pricing of ending inventory in the business’ balance sheet would be desirable.
Objective II: The partners would wish to attract lower taxes on the business’ profit and
hence a lower profit before tax would be desirable.
Discuss in brief any five material pricing methods that businesses may adopt. Identify
the pricing methods that would achieve objectives I and II.
