Question

If a product costs $100 but no matter what it requires a flat $25 for it to be safely transported, would it be considered a $100 product or a $125 product?

Answer 1

In this case, the product would be considered a $125 product. The additional $25 for safe transportation is an integral part of the overall cost of acquiring the product. So when determining the total amount needed to obtain the product and have it safely transported, the cost would be $100 (product) + $25 (transportation) = $125.
