You said, for Hardcover, that "This particular project sells 8,000 copies, which means Rygel makes a total of $21,860 on the hardcover sales alone."
Then for the Mass Market Paperback, you wrote, "There's a better than average sell-through of 50% on the mass market, so the author makes $5,600 on 10,000 copies sold. The author now has a total earned royalty of $46,147.50."
I feel like I'm squinting my eyes too hard and still not getting something. Where did the $46,147.50 come from? You're only adding the earned royalties of the hardcover and the mass market... or am I totally missing something? The two royalties together should amount to $27,460.
Oooh, I want so much to understand this. Please help?
