Options
Cost pricing
Marginal priced

Cost based pricing
Solution
Markup pricing is also called as Cost plus pricing.
Explanation:
The basic idea underlying this approach is that a product's selling price must cover its full cost and yield a reasonable margin of profit. The margin may be a fixed amount per unit or a percentage of cost. The margin is known as 'markup', and, therefore, cost plus pricing is also known as 'markup pricing'.
