When you buy anything, product or service from a company you are actually paying for much more than the product itself. We all know that companies must generate enough revenue with their sales to cover not only the cost of the goods sold, they must also cover the costs of their building, employees, heat, light and power. There are many costs incurred while running a business. Many of these costs are tracked and recorded on a company’s financial statement. Some costs however are not so clear or obvious.
