How do I calculate the cost of goods sold for a video game developer?
Q. I am developing a business plan for a small game development company. I have read that most game development companies' cost of goods sold is equal to the amortized development costs after the game is ready to be sold. I cannot find any detailed examples of how this is done. As far as I can tell, my only cost of goods would be the development costs and some licensing costs. But these are not variable with the number of units sold, which throws everything off! Help! Is there anyone out there that has done this?

A. The only way to calculate the cost of goods sold is to take the total cost of production (development and licensing costs, packaging, etc.) and divide it by the number of units sold. If you are trying to forecast the COGS you should take the total cost and divide it by the expected number of units sold.

How know what similar ebay things have sold for and how many?
Q. I keep hearing about how you can find out if a certain item sold on ebay and for how much and if it's in demand, etc. I want to know to know if I should sell something. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

A. You need to have an eBay user ID to do this. Type in what you are looking to research and hit Enter. On the left side, you will see a box for Completed Listings. Select that and hit enter again. You will see the most recent transactions that closed for the same item - the ones that have green prices were successfully bid on, and red prices didn't have any winning bids.
