Cost Price (CP): A cost price is an amount paid for a product or commodity to purchase it. Also abbreviated as CP. This cost price is further subdivided into two categories:

• Fixed CP: The fixed cost is continuous and does not fluctuate under any conditions.
• Variable CP: The price may change based on the number of units purchased.

Price of Sale (SP): The amount for which the product is sold is referred to as the Selling Price. It is commonly abbreviated as SP and is also known as a sale price.
