Profit and Loss Analysis
The HP 12C Platinum may be programmed to perform simplified profit and loss analysis
using the standard profit income formula and can be used as a dynamic simulator to
quickly explore ranges of variables affecting the profitability of a marketing operation.
The program operates with net income return and operating expenses as percentages. Both
percentage figures are based on net sales price.
It may also be used to simulate a company wide income statement by replacing list price
with gross sales and manufacturing cost with cost of goods sold.
Any of the five variables: a) list price, b) discount (as a percentage of list price), c)
manufacturing cost, d) operating expense (as a percentage), e) net profit after tax (as a
percentage) may be calculated if the other four are known.
Since the tax rage varies from company to company, provision is made for inputting your
applicable tax rate. The example problem uses a tax rate of 48%.
