Financial Reality Now it is June 30th and your first three-months have past. You actually sold only 400 units. Your total sales were $6,000. Your cost of goods sold was $3,000 (400 x $7.50). Does your operating expense go down? No, those expenses stay the same no matter how many sales you make. Your tax rate will also stay the same, but you won’t owe as much tax because you didn’t earn as much money.
