Profit and Loss

  1. CP=Cost Price
  2. SP=Selling Price
  3. Profit=SP-CP
  4. Loss=CP-SP
  5. Profit %=((SP-CP)/CP)*100
  6. Loss %=((CP-SP)/CP)*100
  7. CP=100 SP/(100+Profit%)
  8. CP=100 SP/(100-Loss%)
  9. SP=(100+Profit%) CP/100
  10. SP=(100-Loss%) CP/100
  11. Two successive discounts of d1% and d2% is equivalent to a single discount of d1+d2-(d1d2/100).
  12. Three successive discounts of d1% , d2% and d3% is equivalent to a single discount of d1+d2+d3-(d1d2/100)-(d2d3/100)-(d3d1/100)+(d1d2d3/10000).
  13. When two same items are sold, one at a profit of x% and the other at a loss of x%. Then the transaction incurs a loss %=(x/10)2.
  14. If false weight is used then profit %=(error/(true value - error))*100.
  15. Two successive profits of p1% and p2% results in a total profit %=p1+p2+(p1p2/100)
  16. If an item is marked p% above its Costprice and a discount of l% is allowed on the marked price then profit/loss %=p-l-(pl/100)
