Financial Breakdown

[itsBilly]

Hi, I have some questions about the finances.

 

I'm playing a 2006 mod as TNA. About 10 months in, growing well, TV & PPV buys rising weekly. My profit doubled from July-August, but in September was at -12,000. I noticed my marketing costs have drastically gone up from 5,000 a month to 138,000 in Sep. And its projected to be 185,000 in October. Also have the same issue with my 'Misc' costs. Was at 4,000 a month and now is at 180,000 in September.

 

So my question is what is covered in these misc & marketing costs? I haven't made any drastic changes recently & i've never really paid attention to finances before. (Just done WWE saves so always been in profit)

Did you rise in size?

<p>That's odd, a big expenses spike tends to correspond with the regional -> cult jump, especially for Misc expenses.</p><p> </p><p>

Any new TV or PPV deals? More shows?</p>

That's the cost a Cult company should always be running so I have no idea how you were at Cult with costs below $10k. Are you 100% sure you jumped to Cult and stayed there for the month? I can't figure out how you could be at Cult that cheaply ever. The costs you're hitting now are what you should have always had, though if you're running a couple of TV shows on good networks and PPV, you should be making money at a decent clip. You've signed everyone to written deals, right?
