My Revision: Added Value | A-Level Business Blog

Today I revised a key topic in Business Studies called Added Value, and I’m sharing my notes + examples for anyone else revising too!

Definition:

Added Value is the difference between the selling price of a product and the cost of the materials used to make it.

Formula:

Added Value = Selling Price – Cost of Inputs

Why It’s Important:

It shows how much extra value a business creates.

More added value = more profit potential.

It helps a product stand out even if it's not the cheapest.

How Can a Business Increase Added Value?

Improve product design

Use better materials

Offer excellent customer service

Promote the product effectively

Lower production cost smartly

Example (from my class):

If a shirt costs Rs. 300 to produce, and it’s sold for Rs. 800,

then the Added Value = Rs. 500.

My Thoughts:

I used to think value only meant price, but now I understand it's about what makes a product special. This was an easy but interesting topic to start with!
