The total cost of ownership includes the purchase price of items, and other costs expected to be incurred during the life of the product.

For the tires it could include the purchase price, the transportation costs, the safety stock costs, the ordering and administration costs, the duty and insurance costs and the quality costs.

The total cost of ownership should be compared with multiple suppliers total costs of ownership to determine if it is fair and reasonable.

If the price is comparable to the cost analysis you know the price is fair and reasonable.

Price analysis looks purely at the unit price from a vendor.

Price analysis has following basic components:

▶️Analysis of any existing price history

▶️Comparing price to internal projections

▶️Comparing competitive bids from multiple vendors

▶️Using existing catalog or government prices for an item.

▶️Benchmarking with Index

As with price analysis, once a rate has been determined, then a negotiation may be necessary to ensure the best price outcome.

There seems to be a variety of definite other, least frequent price analytical techniques in addition to the regular mentioned here.

However, these are somewhat commonly used since they can only be employed in specific situations.
