I was talking with a friend about how television commercials cost millions of dollars per every certain amount of seconds, and I though that it might be interesting to note how much of that money is pure profit.

...debating how a timeslot during superbowl half-time theoretically should not cost any more than it would at 12 a.m.

You asked about prodcution costs. The production costs can run from a hundred thousand dollars to millions. But that doesn't include cost for the air time.
None of the money spent on production costs or air time is profit. If they hadn't spent it, it would have been profit. But once they spent it, it moved to the expense side of the ledger, usually under marketing/advertising.

How much do you think CBS had to pay to get the Super Bowl? That's their cost of doing business.

depends if it is a animation a couple of long weeks but if it is a simple powerpoint type commercial less than 1 day so in turn i say it varies.
