From a purchasing perspective, value is an amount of money that is exchanged for goods or services. It is the ratio between the cost of the goods or services and the perceived benefits received from them. Purchasing value is based on the quality of the goods or services and their ability to meet the customer’s needs. Purchasing value is also a measure of the cost efficiency of an exchange, which includes the purchase price, the delivery time, and the availability of discounts or other incentives.
