尽量要考虑具体的语言环境,譬如说,您提出的这个词语,在句子里是名词还是动词或者 修饰语?我们并不清楚,所以很难给出很切合的翻译。可把整个中文句子写出来,大家一起参谋。

随便说,最近和一个米国律师谈生意经,偶说,米国律师费贵,偶是知道的,偶们接受贵这一事实,但是你要把活做好。您的开价要合理,什么活难,什么活容易,活做得好不好,我公司是有这个辨别能力的。老外欣然答曰;our price is cost-effective.这个,翻译翻成“价格低”,当然是他不对。偶散会后提醒他说,这个东西翻成性价比好,物有所值,实惠等更好。有时,一个意思偶们怎么也想不出英文如何生动表达,听老外一掰乎,才拍手叫绝,原来这样说最简单,用词最少,表达却最到位。

cost-ef·fec·tive (kôst-fktv)
adj.
Economical in terms of the goods or services received for the money spent.解为实惠最简约对应。

cost-ef·fective·ly adv.
cost-ef·fective·ness n.

Adj.1.cost-efficient - productive relative to the cost
efficient - being effective without wasting time or effort or expense; "an efficient production manager"; "efficient engines save gas"
在偶看来,降成本增效用,最简单的一种说法,就是用成本的名词,效用的形容词的一个复合形容词。
cost-saving and profit-increasing 用了两个动宾结构的符合形容词,念起来也总有不安的感觉。于是做功课:
一些用法是否地道,可以搬到google查一查老外是否有这样的表达法。原来,老外也是这样说的:
