How to say "value" in Japanese

• 価格かかくJLPT N3approx.Common
  nounFor 'value' in the monetary sense: the price or cost of goods, property, or services. When English 'value' means abstract worth rather than a price tag, this is not the word.

  This book has a certain value.
• 質しつJLPT N3approx.Common

  The quality of tea is going down.

  nounCovers 'value' as the worth of doing something — whether an act yields a result that makes the effort worthwhile, as in 'it was worth it'.

  That was well worth the trouble.
