Profit and Loss Formulas
Profit and loss is the branch of basic mathematics which deals with the study of profit and loss made in a business transaction.
Profit and loss is mainly used in finance and business transactions.
Some important profit and loss formulas are :
Notations used in profit and loss:
S.P. – Selling price
C.P. – Cost price
M.P. – Marked Price
Profit and Loss Formulas:
1. Profit or Gain = S.P. – C.P. [ profit is made only when S.P. is greater then C.P.]
2. Loss = C.P – S.P. [ Loss id made only when C.P. is greater than S.P.]
3. Profit % = (Actual Profit ÷ C.P. ) × 100%
4. Loss % = (Actual loss ÷ C.P. ) × 100%
5. C.P. = (S.P. × 100 ) ÷ (100 + profit%) [If profit is made]
6. C.P. = (S.P. × 100 ) ÷ (100 – profit%) [If loss is made]
7. S.P. = (100 + profit%) × C.P ÷ 100 [If profit is made]
8. S.P. = (100 – loss%) × C.P ÷ 100 [If loss is made]
9. Actual Discount = M.P. – S.P.
10. Discount% = (Actual Discount ÷ M.P.) × 100%
11. S.P. = M.P. – Actual Discount
12. S.P. = M.P. – Discount% of M.P.
13. S.P. = (100 – Discount%) of M.P.
