Sample BOM for a software application

Where can I find a sample Bill of Material for a software application? Are there any samples I can take a look at or does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking to sell software and need to generate a BOM.

Are looking for a sample of a BOM that describes the components that go into building a software application, or are you looking for a software application to generate a BOM for some non-software product?

I'm looking the the former: "the components that go into building a software application". Thanks for your reply.
I'm interpreting this to mean the things that are the building blocks of creating a software application.  As such, I don't think I've ever seen that presented as a BOM metaphor.  More often models like SDLC (software development lif cycle) or a WBS (work breakdown structure) are used.  Not sure if you can harvest some info from these links.  Feel free to bounce more questions off me...

Thanks so much. I was asked to determine the cost-of-goods-sold (COGS) for software that I developed. In other words, how much am I going to sell it for? I know about how to determine how much it costs to create it (the data you provided) but I have know idea how to determine how much to sell it for - or justify the selling price.
