Hi, Everybody!

The Monday Report:

The Financial Report:

Continuing from last week, Eddie responds:

Hi Dave and Matt

1) Continuing with our Diamond PO:

• I forgot to deduct the 10% food bank donation from the PO last time ($1140 CD)
• I’ve changed calculations to include 4% to Sandeep as creator royalty for all the SOCIH? trades
• I didn’t add Sandeep’s 4% to the scenario where it would be an equal split just between him and AV (so SOCIH? Volume 1-3), otherwise he would be making more than AV on the trades
• I did calculations with Ger getting 25% from the PO,( $1,354.50 USD) AND 10% ($541.80)
• I think the 4% contributor would be too miniscule (total $ paid out, $119.95) vs the equal split ($700 paid out in total). My suggestion is to do equal payments split for this po for the SOCIH? trades. Even like this, they won’t be making much though (e.g. Matt will probably get about $40 USD).

So new calculations:
DIA PO +$11,400.00
10% food bank -$1,140.00
PT cost -$1,362.00
Rolly -$225.00
UPS cost -$153.00
LEFT OVER $ = $8,520.00 (cdn) ($6,274 usd)

$6,274 usd - $712.13 usd (SOCIH? Contributor payments) = $5,561.87 usd

$5,561.87 - $541.80 (Ger @10%) = $5,020.07 usd for AV
or
$5,561.87 - $1,354.50 (Ger @25%) = $4,207.37 usd for AV

2) F&V Remastered sold for $70 retail; DIA paid AV $28/copy for 170 copies.
I’m not sure what Marquis charged for those, as the order was combined with The Waverly Hardcovers, and I never saw the Marquis bill for it. The PO was cut in Jun 2022, so about 2 years to sell out.

Dave responds:

I've already said I'm declining my "cut". To put it in perspective, the Deleter Tone sheets I had sent to Dave cost me $29.50, plus $20 for shipping and $23 because Canada needs a cut. I'd make more money if I made Dave pay me back. (I'm not doing THAT either.) AV can keep the forty bucks...

Anyway, this probably doesn't count as a "Moment" for you people, so...This.
