Hello Sonali and welcome to the forums,

You would have to ask someone in your organization about how cost is calculated for that system.

CPU time for a file transfer is usually quite low. I'd suggest you run a test and measure the cpu time needed. How much cpu time will depend on the speed of your processor and if any compression/decompression is involved.
