Solution
Pricing objectives, product cost and the extent of competition directly guide any pricing decision, including that of a book. Government and legal price regulations apply mainly to essential or regulated goods; book prices are not regulated, so public regulations can be ignored by Mr Vinod.
Note: The option reads 'Public regulations'. We have interpreted it as government and legal regulations, which do not apply to pricing a privately published book.
