Sheetrock cost will varry with the location. I live in semi rural Utah and pay 20 to 30 cents a square foot depending on supply scource, time of year and local demand. If you live in an area where supply is short, demand is high or product must be brought in from a far off or mabey there is a local producer, these will all have an effect on the price.

To determine how much sheetrock you need for your project, measure the area of the walls and ceilings you plan to cover with sheetrock. Calculate the square footage of the space and then purchase enough sheetrock to cover that area, accounting for any waste or extra pieces needed for cuts and mistakes.
Not much. Sheetrock has a very low profit margin. There is very little money to be made selling sheetrock. Party due to the fluctuating cost of the product, and also because it's damaged so easily by mishandling. Packing and installing sheetrock, however, can be very profitable due to the nature and difficulty of the work.
in southern Tennessee the average cost is 6 dollars per board to hang the sheetrock(4 x 12 sheets) and 12 dollars per board to finish it. This is for the number of boards purchased, One quick note, when hanging sheetrock most people will not piece sheetrock they will only use full sheets, this seem like alot of waste but it results in a look that is smooth and neat. Good Luck
