what difference between profit and profit margin?
821820
in really simple terms, your profit is how much you made on the sale.  for example, if you sold an item that cost you $40 to make for $100, your gross profit is $60.   you also had expenses of $25 (taxes, etc).  your net income is $35\nyour profit margin is usually given as a %. (net income divided by revenue)\n= 35/100 = 35%\n\nnote that there is a gross profit margin and a net profit margin.

There are two that I've seen used:\n\n-margin for error\n-probability curves (discrete or continuous)

opening retained earnings in a profit and loss statement is the accumulated profits or losses from the companys formation up to the start of the current financial year. opening retained earnings plus the profit for the current year equals closing retained earnings at the year end.

1. If the profit is divided equally, each gets 4800/3 = $1600\nIf the profit is divided proportionally, x gets 9/(9+7+4)*4800 = $2160\nTherefore, x gets 2160-1600 = $560 less.\n\n2. Oops, just reread this...\nx=pages small type, 21-x = pages large type\n\n48000 = 2400*x + 1800(21-x)\n48000 = 2400x + 37800 - 1800x\n10200 = 600x\n17 = x\n17 pages smaller type\n4 pages larger type

Gross income is what you earned pre-tax either from your job, stock dividends, or bond interest.\n\nGross profit is what you get after you sell something (proceeds) minus the cost of the object.

1. Contribution margin = revenue - variable costs\n= $12 - $0.40 = $11.60.\n\n2. Annual Break Even Point.\nFixed Costs = Workers + Rent\n5 workers * $9.90 * 40 * 50 + $1750 * 12 = $99,000 + $21,000 = $120,000\n\n120000 / 11.6 = 10,345 Haircuts.\n\n3. Operating Income = Gross Profit - Operating Expenses\n20,000 * $11.4 - $120,000 = $108,000\n\n4. Contribution margin = revenue - variable costs\n= $12 - $6 - $0.40 = $5.60\nBreak Even:\nFixed Costs = Workers + Rent\n5 workers * $4 * 40 * 50 + $1750 * 12 = $40,000 + $21,000 = $61,000\n\n61000 / 5.6 = 10,893 Haircuts

Last year, Yahoo! had a revenue of $3.57 billion, while Google had a revenue of $3.19 billion.\n\nHowever, as you can see from Steve's answer, Google has a greater profit margin.  This is probably because of Yahoo! features like Yahoo! Music that may earn revenue, but are expensive to maintain.

Return on assets will be 1.7 * 15% = 25.5%\n\n---\n\nRearranging the forumlas:\n\nNet income = Profit margin (15%) * Sales\n\nTotal assets = Sales/Total Asset Turnover(1.7)\n\nso...\nReturn on assets = Net income / Total assets\n                 = (15% * Sales) / (Sales/1.7)\n                 = 15% * 1.7

It is a summary of all income gained and expenses incurred by a business. The income less the expenses equals profit. If the expenses are higher than the income, it equals a loss.

NO Question is dumb, as long as it is asked with the purpose of learning, not just getting attention.  You seem sincere, so here is my shot at it:\n\nI will use the formula :\nEarnings - Investment = Profit\n(Profit / Investment) x 100 = Percentage Yield\n\nOne thing is confusing about your profit :\n\nIF you end up with $110 after you sell it, then you made $100 profit or 1000%.  \n($110 earnings  - $10 investment = $100 profit = 1000%)\n\nIF you end up with $120 after you sell it, then you made $110 profit or 1000%.  \n($120 earnings  - $10 investment = $110 profit = 1100%)\n    \n\nIf you are asking based on a text-book math problem, its probably the 1st, more simplified answer, which gave us an answer of 1000% ...\n\nHope it helps, please vote my asnwer as best ...  Than You.

Contribution margin is sales revenue less variable costs. It is the amount available to pay for fixed costs and provide any profit after variable costs have been paid.\n\nIn this case\ncontribution margin = 1,200,000 - 215,000 = 985,000\n\ncontribution margin percentage = 985,000/1200000 *100 = 82.1%

Margin trading is buying stock with someone else's money. Typically, it works like this.\n\nYou put $1000 in a broker's margin account. You can buy up to $1500 in stocks. The extra $500 (50% of your amount) is being loaned to you by the broker. And yes, you will pay interest on that loan.\n\nThe trick is picking stocks that will outperform the interest rate. If the stock goes up, you can greatly increase your income. If it goes down, you lose more also. Plus, if you lose too much, you will have to sell off some of the stock (at a loss) in order to keep yourself with only a certain amount of debt (typically 50%). This is known as a margin call.\n\nHaving tried this, it is tricky. You can make a lot and you can lose a lot. I traded on margin for about a year and did both.

MR- marginal revenue and MC- marginal cost. \n\nwhen MR = MC, profit is at the optium level, cost becomes equal to the revenue. and further if the production is increased ,MC will increase, which leads to a loss.

A. \n500,000,000/Total asset = 4; sales-to-assets\ntherefore, total asset = 125,000,000\n\nNet profit = sales * profit margin = 500,000,000 * 0.05\n         = 25,000,000\n\nROA = Net income / total asset\nROA = 25,000,000/ 125,000,000 = 0.2 or 20%\n\nB. Total aseet = total debt + total shareholders' equity\n   that is, total debt = total asset - total equity\n\n  (125,000,000 - total equity)/total equity = 0.5\n  therefore; total equity = 83,333,333\n\n  ROE = net income / equity\n     = 25,000,000/ 83,333,333 = 0.3 or 30%\n\nit's that easy,

The two equations you are given are just two different ways to express the information.  The way this is set up assumes that the inventor will be able to sell every item that is produced, so both her production and sales are represented by "x".\n\nTo see that the two equations are really giving you the same information, notice that:\n\nSales - cost =profit.  Sales would be 4.00x.\n4.00x-(1.75x+7000)=2.25x-7000\n\nThe break even point is when your profit is zero, so you are neither losing nor gaining money.\nP(x)=0.  This point would be called the y-intercept if you were drawing a graph.\n\nAlso, if you look at your two equations, you can see that they are written in the form, y=mx+b, so you could graph the equation, and read the points off the graph, where:\n\n(a) x=2000\n(b) x=5000\n(c) the value of x when y=0.\n\nOr if you feel more comfortable with the algebra, just use your equations.\n\nThe best way is to find the answer by two different ways, and see if they agree.  For a quick check, you can just compare the answers and see if they make sense.\n\nJust by noticing that the slope is positive, you can already tell that the profit for 5000 units should be greater than for 2000 units.\n\nLittle ways to check your work are especially helpful during an exam.

I know by talking to franchisers that net profit margins (after royalties and taxes) are in the range of 20% to 25%.\nMy own calculations (been thinking of opening one) show that a mid size/large place would be making about $10,000 to $15,000 profit per month if it's well operated and it's in a high traffic location.\n\nIf you want to corroborate just ask casually the guy behind the bar approximately how many sandwiches they make in a day and multiply by any factor between $5 (conservative) and $10 (optimistic), then calculate about 20% profit from that and multiply by 30 days - that's your monthly estimated net profits.
