From what I studied, I believe we shouldn't deduct the selling price at all, but I need to double-check my notes on fixed costs.

I’m a bit confused about cost of goods sold. I feel like we might need to deduct that, but I can't recall clearly.

I remember a practice question where we had to identify costs that shouldn't be deducted, and I think selling price was one of them.

I think we definitely need to deduct fixed costs to find the profit, but I'm not sure about the selling price.
