Profit & Loss - Facts and Formula
COST PRICE (CP)
THE PRICE AT WHICH ARTICLE IS PURCHASED
SELLING PRICE (SP)
THE PRICE AT WHICH ARTICLE IS SOLD
PROFIT OR GAIN
IF SELLING PRICE (SP) IS GREATER THAN COST PRICE (CP), THE SELLING PRICE
IS SAID TO HAVE PROFIT OR GAIN.
LOSS
IF SP IS LESS THAN CP ,THE SELLER IS SAID TO INCURRED A LOSS.
FORMULA
- GAIN=(SP)-(CP).
- LOSS=(CP)-(SP).
- LOSS OR GAIN IS ALWAYS RECKONED ON CP
- GAIN %={GAIN*100}/CP.
- LOSS%={LOSS*100}/CP.
- SP={(100+GAIN%) /100}*CP.
- SP={(100-LOSS%)/100}*CP.
- {100/(100+GAIN%)} *SP
- CP=100/(100-LOSS%)}*SP
- IF THE ARTICLE IS SOLD AT A GAIN OF SAY 35%,
THEN SP =135% OF CP
- IF A ARTICLE IS SOLD AT A LOSS OF SAY 35%. THEN
SP=65% OF CP.
- WHEN A PERSON SELLS TWO ITEMS,ONE AT A GAIN
OF X% AND OTHER AT A LOSS OF X%.THEN THE
SELLER ALWAYS INCURES A LOSS GIVEN:
{LOSS%=(COMON LOSS AND GAIN ) 2}/10.=(X/10) 2
- IF THE TRADER PROFESSES TO SELL HIS GOODS AT
CP BUT USES FALSE WEIGHTS,THEN
GAIN=[ERROR/(TRUE VALUE)-(ERROR)*100]%
