Which area do you believe contributes most to helping a company gain a competitive advantage?

Price, service and location can contribute to a company's competitive edge. Sometimes, one of the above elements is enough but should be weighed against other factors. A price that's low in comparison to XYZ Mart gives a business an advantage. Many people will go out of their way to find a bargain. A company's service is like a business card. It represents you, your business. A company with quicker service and good results could have a competitive edge. A company that's easily accessed has a competitive edge. People are likely to do business where there's no hassle getting to and from a location. Still, all elements have to be looked at in totality.

How cost of goods sold in the service industry is calculated?

COGS in the service industry will be the cost of the persons or machines directly applying the service. The accounts affected will most likely be salaries and depreciation. Other items like electricity to run the machines and helpers to the main human service providers will usually be classified as operating expenses (because the are indirect or overhead) which is after COGS is calculated on the income statement to arrive at the net profit. For my service company, my contractors are my COGS while my three employees are classified as just payroll expenses AFTER the gross income. You really have to decipher your direct and indirect costs to achieve a sale to determine which were the COGS that actually provided the service and which are just the operating expenses for the whole good of the company.
