How cost of goods sold in the service industry is calculated?

COGS in the service industry will be the cost of the persons or machines directly applying the service. The accounts affected will most likely be salaries and depreciation. Other items like electricity to run the machines and helpers to the main human service providers will usually be classified as operating expenses (because the are indirect or overhead) which is after COGS is calculated on the income statement to arrive at the net profit. For my service company, my contractors are my COGS while my three employees are classified as just payroll expenses AFTER the gross income. You really have to decipher your direct and indirect costs to achieve a sale to determine which were the COGS that actually provided the service and which are just the operating expenses for the whole good of the company.

You aren't free to take all that money and spend it any way you like. You may have business rent to pay, utilities, equipment and supplies costs, and a payroll to meet. After paying all of your obligations out of the gross amount, what you have left is the net.

How do you know an American Express card is not fraudulent?

If it is your card, you know it is yours since you applied for it and received it. If it is not your card but you are running the card through as part of a transaction, the card machine will tell you if the card is valid. If you have stolen the card and are wondering if it is still working, you should run backwards into highway traffic and ask the first person who runs you over.
