Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Since this pricing strategy doesn’t consider competitor prices, there’s a risk that your selling price is too high. This could result in a loss of sales if consumers choose to do business with a lower-priced competitor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cost-plus pricing doesn’t take consumers into account. Therefore, any pricing strategy that ignores customer value is detrimental to the business’s profitability. This creates a vacuum that drains away all of the profit. In summary, customers don’t care about how much something costs you to make.

Detailed explanation-3: -Variable cost-plus pricing is not suitable for a company that has significant fixed costs or fixed costs that increase if more units are produced; any markup on the variable costs on top of the fixed costs per unit might result in an unsustainable price for the product.
