Answer to Question 1

Price is the only element of the marketing mix that generates revenue; all the others are costs. It should therefore be used as an active instrument of strategy in the major areas of marketing decision making. Price serves as a means of communication with the buyer by providing a basis for judging the attractiveness of the offer.

Prices, along with costs, will determine the long-term viability of the enterprise.
