<u>Price</u> refers to the amount of money that is paid by one party to another to acquire a particular commodity or in return for unit of commodities. Some of the factors that determines the price of a commodity include cost of production, product demand, product supply, targeted profit, and among others.
A <u>profit</u> is the amount earned from selling a commodity minus the amount expended to purchase, operate, or produce the commodity.
The primary aim of an entrepreneur is to make a profit, and price setting is one of the important activities that influences a profit. Since the higher the price, the higher may be the profit. However, a higher price may also dicourage customers from buying a product and then reduces profit.
Therefore, setting prices for products and services requires entrepreneurs to balance a multitude of complex forces as entrepreneurs determine prices for their goods and services that will draw customers and <u>produce a profit</u>.
