Pro Tips
What is COGS?: COGS stands for Cost of Goods Sold. It includes the direct costs of producing a product, like raw materials and labor. It excludes indirect costs like distribution and sales force costs.
Why is COGS important?: COGS is deducted from revenue to calculate Gross Profit. It's a key indicator of a company's production efficiency.
Does COGS include rent?: Generally no, unless the rent is specifically for the production facility. Administrative rent is an operating expense, not part of COGS.

Fun Facts
"Different inventory methods (FIFO vs. LIFO) can significantly change the reported COGS even if the actual physical flow is the same."
"Lowering COGS is often easier and more impactful for a business than increasing sales volume."
"Service businesses often have zero or very low COGS, as they don't sell physical inventory."
