% Profit/Loss = | Income - Expenditure | x 100 |
Expenditure |
Income and Expenditure (in million US $) of five companies in the year 2001.
Total income of Companies M and N together
= (35 + 50) million US $
= 85 million US $
Total expenditure of Companies M and N together
= (45 + 40) million US $
= 85 million US $.
Percent Profit/Loss of companies M and N together
% Profit/Loss = | ![]() |
85 - 85 | x 100 | ![]() |
= 0%. |
85 |
Thus, there was neither loss nor profit for companies M and N together.
Total income of all five companies
= (35 + 50 + 40 + 40 + 50) million US $
= 215 million US $.
Total expenditure of all five companies
= (45 + 40 + 45 + 30 + 45) million US $
= 205 million US $.
