What is Profit?

The amount earned by a person after selling goods or services is called Profit.

The cost price of the dryer is $160

The selling price of the dryer is $240

Overhead Expenses is 20% of $240

Overhead expenses = $48

Profit = Selling Price- Cost price

Profit = (240-(160+48)) = $32

Profit % = ( Selling Price- Cost price) * 100/ cost price

       

Profit % = (240 - (160+48)) * 100/ (160+48)

            = 15.38%

Therefore, the profit is $32 and the rate of profit is 15.38%.
