In In this paper we have proposed a new estimator of population mean in the presence of non–response using information of a single auxiliary variable. We have obtained survey cost for the fixed variance of the proposed estimator and compared it with the cost obtained by Tabasum and Khan (2004) and Hansen Hurwitz (1946). After the comparison we saw that the cost of our proposed estimator is lesser than Tabasum and Khan (2004) and Hansen Hurwitz (1946) estimators.
