 A manufacturer produces goods at a certain price.

o If the goods are sold at a price higher than the cost

price, the manufacturer makes a profit or gain.
𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒊𝒕 = 𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 – 𝑪𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆
o If the manufacturer sells the goods at a price lower than the cost price, then he
suffers a loss.
𝑳𝒐𝒔𝒔 = 𝑪𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 – 𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆
 To express the profit or loss as a percentage of the cost price, we use:

𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 𝐿𝑜𝑠𝑠
× 100% 𝑜𝑟 × 100%
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
