My profits are a negative number! What does this mean?
If you are selling a case lot Product (Frozen Cookie Dough or Frozen Muffin Dough), you may see a negative number in your Dashboard at the very start of your Fundraiser. This is because the cost of the case lot (containing 6 units) may exceed the profit of the sale (e.g. 1 unit).
Your Total Profit is calculated as Total Sales - Total Cost of Goods.
For example:
The Cost of a case of Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough is $108 (6 x $18).
The Sale Price per pouch of Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough is $27.
The Profit per pouch of Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough is $9.
If you have only sold one pouch of Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough, your profits will be calculated at:
$27 - $108 = -$81
However, as soon as you sell a full six-pouch case lot of Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough, your profits will be maximized!
If you have sold six pouches of Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough, your profits will be calculated as:
$162 - $108 = +$54
