Basic economics - the price of good does not some from what it costs to produce it, it comes from what people will pay for it. This is why many goods, particularly when a company is starting up, are sold at a loss - as what people will pay for something may not be accurately known to begin with.

Good morning, Ivan. Your point's well taken and that's what I'm talking about. I'm willing to pay more for another brand of jeans because of Levi's having outsourced. Besides, the workmanship has suffered in the process.
