Hi ZEYNEP,
1) Effective price - End price after taking all conditions (for example, cash discounts, delivery costs etc.)  into account.
2) Total Price - Price arrived at after taking all discounts and surcharges into account
3) Total value = total quantity x price
When a price changes, the value of the stock changes, since the value is calculated from the price:
4) Effective (actual) price: Net price minus cash discount and plus miscellaneous provisions and delivery costs as well as non-deductible input tax
In simple - Total Cost - Expenditure on material till Goods Receipt (Procurement) and Effective cost - including all expenses till delivery from factory or some times till reach the consumer (vary depend upon the nature of business).
Here is an example
Material Price is $ 1000/-
& Discount is 10% and tax is 10% and freight is $ 50/-,Fixed( it may also %)
So Here the Material Price is called Gross Price $ 1000/-
Gross Price ($ 1000/-)- Discount {$ 100/-(10% of $ 1000/-)}= Net Price $ 900/-
Here Net Price $ 900/-
Tax $ 90/- ($ 900/- +$ 90 = $ 990/- is called sub-total)
Freight $ 50/-
$ 1040/-
The Total Price ($ 1040/-) is called Effective Price.
Hope this is helpful. Reward if useful.
Thanks
