What term describes a price method where the casket cost is multiplied by a constant factor?

• A. Embossed
• B. Direct Lighting
• C. Dome
• D. Fixed Multiple

Answer: (D)

In pricing, a fixed multiple method sets the selling price by multiplying the casket cost by a constant factor. This means the price scales proportionally with cost, using the same multiplier across items to achieve a consistent margin. For example, with a cost of 100 and a fixed multiple of 3, the selling price would be 300. This approach is straightforward and keeps prices aligned with cost increases.

The other terms describe features rather than pricing methods: an embossed finish is a decorative surface pattern on the casket, direct lighting refers to a lighting setup, and a dome describes a lid style—none of these indicate how prices are calculated.
