Profit and Loss Analysis
The HP-12C 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.
