The goal of a relative cost analysis is simply to estimate how a company's costs compare to a rival's. Companies examine relative costs for a host of reasons:
- to anticipate how a rival is likely to react to a price change
- to predict how a price war may evolve
- to test whether a cost advantage it believes it has is real and sustainable
- to decide how low a company must bid in order to win a competitive contract from a rival
- to identify opportunities for internal cost reduction.
Hence, the correct option is option a.
