Profit and Loss


  • Profit = S.P - C.P Where S.P = Selling Price and C.P = Cost Price

  • Loss = C.P - S.P

  • Profit percentage = 100 * ActualProfit / C.P

  • Loss percentage = 100 * Actual Loss /C.P

  • C.P =(100 / 100+Profit%)*S.P

  • Two successive discounts of m% and n% on the listed price < (m + n)% of the listed price(see below).

  • Sale price after first discount of m% = List price * (1-m/100)

  • Sale price after two discounts of m% and n% = List price * (1-m/100) * (1-n/100)

  • If m% and n% are two consecutive discounts on a scale, then the equivalent single discount = ( m+n-(m*n/100))%

  • S.P = M.P * (100-rate of discount)/100 where M.P- Marked Price, S.P- Selling PriceProfit = S.P - C.P Where S.P = Selling Price and C.P = Cost Price

  • Loss = C.P - S.P

  • Profit percentage = 100 * ActualProfit / C.P

  • Loss percentage = 100 * Actual Loss /C.P

  • C.P =(100 / 100+Profit%)*S.P
