            I was born in the cold evening on the 11th of November 1978, in Donetsk. At the age of three I was sent to the kindergarten №4 "Dandelion" in which I spent several years of my careless childhood. In 1985 a great change in my life took place. I went to Donetsk secondary school 33/ I didn't make myself familiar with the new class, but in October of the same year the spirit of adventures and hobbies of my parents took us to the Far East of our immense USSR, to the town of Chegdomyn, BAR (Baykal-Amur Railway). There I finished the first from? I was a class Leader and got a school certificate of good work and conduct. In summer I came back to Donetsk where I was received with outstretched arms in my form of school 33. To my regret of gladness my school was not strict and prestigious in Donetsk. However I must admit that it was a wonderful school, in which many contests and competition were held/ I remember my first teacher Tatyana Vasilievna to have treated us. I keep in mind points game, Maths and Literature lessons, how we played volley-boll with a sheet of atlas, History teacher with his pithy saying "A state is a force, which…" I remember thet once our class was the first in dancing and how we ate a cake, the prize. There were a lot of other things - it is difficult yo enumerate. But after finishing the ninth form in 1993 I entered the Donetsk Technical Secondary School of Industrial automatic machinery, the department of electronic calculation technique. Here having different cources in "radioelectronics" and "microschemetechnique" I realized that my favorite subjects were psychology, literature and economics.

            While studying at the Technical Secondary School I didn't distinguish myself in anything special but in 1994 I joined the Donetsk chess- draughts club, where I gained some results. So at the beginning of 1996 I confirmed many times later.

            In 1997 I entered the faculty of the Donetsk Technical University, because I was fond of economics as science and believed in the prosperity of Ukraine, I close the profession called "Economy of Enterprises" (EE) because enterprises are the most important link in any economy. I am proud of my University and profession. Our group "EE" was the fifth in the University according to the result of studies of the 2000-2001 academic year. In my third year I decided to test myself and took part in the Olympiad in "Management in Industrial activity" among all the Ukrainian higher establishments, where I took the third place in the second round of All-Ukrainian Olympiad in "Management in Industrial activity" with the third degree diploma and the certificate. After that there were trips to Kiev, the certificate and the reward for creative approach to the fulfillment of the given tasks, the third result and the certificate for the report at the All-Ukrainian Students Scientific Conference "The Development of the State: Cultural life, Ecology, Economy". In 2001I was awarded a diploma for the achievement of significant success in studies and active participation in the social life of the University by Voroshilovsky District Council.

            Why did I choose price formation as the topic of master's work? Because price is not only the thing we deal with the most often, but it is also the marketing activity of the enterprise. Price influences both customers and producers, it is a connecting link. We can call the theorists of price formation such scientists as A.Smith and K.Marks with his labour theory of cost, A.Marshall with his theory of price based on the demand and offer, D.M.Kanes with his state price regulation, E.Chemberlen with his working-out of price limit, Shumpeter with his analysis of price for innovations

            The person who got the profession "EE" can work at any enterprise, can be an accountant, an economist, a manager. He can devote himself to science or practice. A person with higher education is able to do much. At the University we obtain not only the Knowledge, but also something more, that can't be described, something that gives a certain power and it depends on us whether we would use it or not.
