Factor cost
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Factor cost has the following uses in economics:
- Factor cost or national income by type of income is a measure of national income or output based on the cost of factors of production, instead of market prices.[1] This allows the effect of any subsidy or indirect tax to be removed from the final measure.
- Factor cost can also refer to the unit cost of a particular factor of production (input in the production process), such as the wage rate or the rental rate of capital.
