Talk:Cost of goods sold

message: I would like to add a few lines discussing Cost of Sales for services companies, since we have specified "goods" in the initial definition rather than the more general "products". I think this would be confusing for those not familiar with accounting (how can you have cost of goods sold when you are a service company?) Any objections? --Jd147703 19:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

message: As above, this would be a useful addition since internet resources on Cost of Sales pretty much always use manufacturing companies as their examples213.120.245.71 10:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: the text seems to be not expressing fixed and variable costs properly
distinguishing between variable and fixed costs depends on their relativeness to the cost driver.
it is not a matter of mere changes  not connected to any other factors
"variable costs are costs that change in total in proportion to changes in the cost driver.
fixed costs are costs that do not change in total despite changes in a cost driver"
the examples mentioned in the text seems also misleading  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.245.0.210 (talk) 10:47, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The article also repeats itself and is generally very hard to read. Basic proof reading is needed.

message: The article Cost of products sold was an orphaned stub since 2009 (at least). The content was a simple description of the concept of COGS, all of which appeared in the overview of this article, and it was simply a different label for the same concept, as far as I can see. I redirected here and trust that's not controversial. Tt 225 (talk) 03:25, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
