I think a divide by zero is actually 'undefined' rather than 'infinity'. In
IEEE terms, you get NaN rather than Inf.
The hackier solution would be to add a small delta $d$ to price $p$:
$\frac{1}{(1+c)*(p+d)}$
a better solution would be to redefine your equation such that it doesn't come
up. If somebody wants to write my thesis for me, I'd be happy to do this.
This is also why I'm sitting on Herc control MP3 driver testing :(
