What is the difference between cost and price?
Cost is what we incur; price is what we realise (i.e. cost + profit = price). In other words, cost is a fact whereas price is a policy.
Factors governing price :
External factors such as supply & demand, goodwill of a company, extent of competition in market, purchasing power of buyer and internal factors such as cost of production, management policy towards fixing margin are the factors governing the price.
A secretary was leaving the office one Friday evening when she encountered Mr. Jones, the Human Resources manager, standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. "Listen," said Mr. Jones, "this is important, and my secretary has already left. Can you make this thing work?"
"Certainly," said the secreatry. She turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed
the start button.
"Excellent, excellent!" said Mr. Jones as his paper disappeared inside the machine. "I just
need one copy."
