:wtf:

are you talking product discounts? yes, 100% off is free. I'm not sure where you're going at this.

every iPhone is equal to 100%.
$600 is 100% (MSRP)
$250 is 41.67% (Cost Of Goods Sold)
$350 is 58.33% (Profit)

you don't compare the profit against the MSRP that's where your calculation is off.

compare the profit against the cost of goods sold.

imma choke somebody.

when your profit is larger than your cost, you get more than 100% back.




all he did was turn the profit and cost into percentages based on the MSRP.


Nightshade, ban em all.

the dude is right....

Profit ($250) = price of sell($500) - cost($250)

Profit is usually on revenue so

(Profit)250/500(revenu) * 100 = 50% profit margin

In order to get 100% profit, the product you are selling must have NO cost associated to it.

profit
The positive gain from an investment or business operation after subtracting for all expenses.
------
Gross Profit
Sales revenue minus sales costs.



2 different things. If you say "profit" you aren't taking MSRP (as e3nine said).

I give up ... this isn't rocket science, it's basic accounting.
