I'm doing a project for my accounting class that requires me to create a fictitious corporation. I chose to use the rave scene as my business and I'm wondering now how much to put down in the journal for dj's and stuff. Please help me out! Any information at all will be useful! :)

depends on how big you want to go. your average local dj will usually be around $200 for a set. headliners can be around $1000.
equipment rental varies as well. I will loan my cdjs out for $50 each/night. so turntables will probably be about the same. do you want to do a couple rooms for a venue? if so you'll need sound systems for each room as well as decorations if you want to do those...
