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.
