Hi,
 
On my Income Statement I'm struggling to understand where the Prime Cost value (on the Calculation of Tax Payments section) comes from.
 
I'm a retailer and last week my product-related costs were:
 
Product Purchase: $29,633.00
Transport Cost: $103.00
Customs Duty: $9,522.00[/b]
 
In this case I thought that Prime Cost (or COGS?) would be the sum of the above (which = $39,258.00)
 
However on the Calculation of Tax Payments section, the Prime Cost comes as $19,650.00.
 
Could anyone help me understand how this is calculated? I'm happy to provide further data if needed.
 
Thanks in avance,
 
RTM

If I may guess then I'd say you bought more products than you sold, twice as many actually.
The Prime Costs are calculated for each product you sold.
Does that fit the data?
