As others will point out - this is actually a large and complicated question.
If you do some internet searches, you will find a lot of material on this topic. IBM has a few models for charging customers: Go to www.ibm.com and put in the search box TCO. It should get you started. Also look up SCRT. zIIP and zAAP are specialty CPs that are used to offload workload. This is done with a pre-emptive SRB process. Any work that stays on General GPs are charged. If you could provide more detail on your question, it will help to give you a better answer. On the system z there are tools that are used for identifying workload that goes to zIIP/zAAP and there are tools to a 4HRA to get an idea of what you might be charged.
