Question
What are selling costs?
Advertisements
Solution 1
Selling costs refer to the expenditure incurred by a firm to promote the sale of its product.
Solution 2
Selling costs are expenses incurred by firms to promote the sale of their product and persuade buyers to prefer their brand over rivals. They include advertising, sales promotion, free samples, publicity, discounts, personal selling, and after-sales service. Under monopolistic competition, where products are similar but differentiated, selling costs play a key role in increasing demand.
