The price of company on the street (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cost

'the price' is the definition.
('cost' can be a synonym of 'price')

'company on the street' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'co'+'st'='COST'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for cost that I've seen before include "Fee" , "Amount to pay" , "Total spent for goods or services" , "Outlay required to buy" , "Estimate the expense of doing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
