>>62180745So lets say I have 1300EURBuy: -900EUR -> 400EURSell: +1200EUR -> 1600EURBuy: -1300EUR -> 300EURSell: + 1600EUR -> 1900EUR1900 - 1300 = 600EUR, aka the total profit.
>>62180745$500
Before or after taxes?
you bought at 900 and sold at 1600, that's a gain of $700
>>62180746>>62180748Elaborate
simple book keeping: expenses summary $2200 income summary $2800 profit $600
If you had diamond hands you would have earned $100 more.
>>62180745300
>>62180778You're $300 down by the end if your starting capital is $900. You're $600 up if that's not a factor. So it depends, but I'll assume the first given we have no other information
>>62180747+200. If i stopped at selling the cow at 1200, i would have had 300 profit
>>62180745600
>>62180745$600. the calculation is selling price less cost basis. you're not told to assume your capital is limited $900 plus the profit or loss generated by the first transaction.
>>62180745Sales $2800Less Cost of Goods Sold $2200Gross Profit $600
>>62180748>>62180750>>62180778>>62180804remind me to never let you do my taxes
>>62180811This
>>62180745About tree fiddy nigha
>>62180761ask your high school math teacher
>>62180745Where does the 100$ come from when you buy it for 1300$¿
>>62180893Your mother's pussy
>>62180761$600 in profit.
>>62180898Hot.
>>62180745Green by about $200-400
>>62180893It's a Profit and Loss exercise. Not a Cash Flow one. Because it doesn't state that any of the Transactions have been settled yet. It does not say "I bought a cow for $900 cash" etc. It just lists a bunch of Sales and Purchase agreements with the amount agreed recorded in dollars. It's possible to do all or part of it on credit with amounts still owed or owing.
>>62180745You lost 100 bucks
>>62180900Nope. $500. You're retarded.
>>62180745Two mongolians
>>62180745im going to need the dates the transaction occurred, the discount rate, and the interest rate for those dates please
>>62180745$2800. Its asking for revenue and not profit
>>62180745>Entered at 900>Sold at 1200>Re-entered at 1300>Sold at 1600>How much did I make?600. 2800 of revenue, 2200 of expenses. Frame it however you want.Not exactly Bertrand's Box, here. This should not be confusing people.
>>62181351but you earned $300 selling it initially, you spent $100 of that buying it back, and then sold it up another $300, so it's $500
>>62181351>City slicker forgot to factor in the feed and seed for the cowThis is why Blackrock mainly hires North Dakotans.
There are retards in this thread that believe he borrowed $100 to buy it for $1300.you are retarded if you think this. You really think this guy had just $900 to his name going into this? Just because he bought a cow for $900 doesn't mean that is his life savings. There is no reason for you to believe he had to borrow $100 to get the $1300 for the second purchase.Answer is $600
>>62181367he didn't borrow $100 he just spent $100 more than he got so it's still $500 retard
in the red -$900in the green $300in the red again -$1000back in the green $600I asked 7 different chatbots and they all came to the same conclusion
>>62180745>buy cow for 900>diamond hands never sell>pay 500 to feed the cow until it dies>cow dies>still refuses to sell>pay a butcher 600 to do the needful>pay 1000 for a big ass freezer>now you have 200kg of edible cow meat, about 15 bucks per kg its 3000 bucks, more if you include organs>break even, you dont have to buy goyslop for months>repeat many times but since you dont have to buy a new freezer every time you repeat, you profit 1000 minus electricity costs per additional cow and never eat goyslop ever again
>>62181394>Bought BTC at 900>Sold at 1200>Bought BTC at 100,000>Sold at 100,300Holy fuck, man, I'm down so much money what am I gonna do.
too many accountants ITTbuyer clearly has a WTP at least $1300 but below $1600in first trade buyer gets at least $400 consumer surplusin second trade buyer loses $100 consumer surplusso net consumer surplus is greater than or equal to $300 but less than $600
>>62181452you're up $1500 from where you started
The real answer is how much milk the cow made while you owned it
>>62180745$2800 total earnings. $2200 total expenses, before tax and possible shipping/feeding cost.
>>62180745((1200-900)+(1600-1300))-(((1200-900)+(1600-1300))*capitalGainsTax)>run it again with auctionFees or brokerFees or whatever and tally up the calcs
$0earning is obtaining money by directly exchanging your labor or services.you didn't earn anything. you made a $600 profit from buying and selling.
>>62180745I dunno. I figure I'm back where I started.
It's $500. 9001200-100500
>>62180745250 after loan interest and tax man
>>62182104lol
just sum everything
>>62180745>-$900>+$300>-$1000>+$600$600
>I leveraged that cow to sell 6 to the market, the customer doesnt expect the cow, just that we will hold the cow and sell it forwards for them
>>62180745-$2200>b-but muh profitProfit is a meme. There are only expenses for hookers and fancy cars.
>>62180745You losted $20000 (adjusted for inflation)
i don't know, i'm retarded.
>>62180893>where does the $100 come fromFrom the same place where the inital $900 came from.
>>62180745>Buy for 900 -> -900>Sell for 1200 -> -900 +1200 = 300>Buy for 1300 -> 300 - 1300 = -1000>Sell for 1600 -> -1000 + 1600 = 600He made 600, any other answer is retarded
>>62183563Actually it's giga retarded to admit you made a profit because that's when you have to pay taxes. Always report losses even when you made profit. If IKEA does it you should, too.
>>62180745$600
>>62181247>irony, the postkek You fucked up hard. This is what your retarded ass did:>$900 - $900 = 0>-$900 + $1200 = $300>-$1300 = $200>+$1600 = $500you are retarded
>>62180745You lost $100 (opportunity cost)
>>62180893Well that's the trick of this retarded trick question. If it stated your starting funds are eg 1000 everyone would answer correctly.
>>62183823there is no assumption of starting capital or even a cash based sale. Every transaction could be done on credit for all you know. All you have to do is add up all the numbers where purchases are negative and sales are positive>-900 + 1200 + -1300 + 1600easy
>>62180745thats mathematically only solvable for goats.
I'm not sure if half the people ITT are actually retarded or just pretending. I hope it's the latter, because otherwise I'll lose the little faith I had regarding this board.
>>62180893Why aren’t you also asking where the original $900 came from if that’s your line of thinking?
>>62180745You didn’t earn shit. You just overpriced it and used Jew trickery. Unless you fucked that cow to make a new cow you didn’t earn that cow. I would argue you’re more useless than the cow.
>>62180745400 you retards. Made 300 on first sale, lost 100 buying it AGAIN rhen made 200 off that flip. 400
>>62183993you're making this anon >>62183884 lose faith in the species.
0Cow and dollars are just vector of value, he just swapped them around but his wealth didn't increase

>>62181354Who said initial investment was reinvested? that's not how the IRS counts.
>>62181461wow you're fucking braindead.
>>62180745$200 buxx
It depends on how long you held the cattle. They have ongoing maintenance costs. Subtract that amount from profit
>>62180761Not as elaborate as it could have been, really.
>>62180745>I bought a cow for $900-$900 buying a liability >I sold IT (services?) for $1200+$1200 income from job>I bought IT for $1300-$1300 doing market research on fellow IT professionals, good investment in yourself which is the best investment so this is basically $0 cost and may even make you money>I sold IT for $1600+$1600 in income, here we see the immediate payoff in earned wages from that market research. Totally worth itYour total profit? Unlimited because you figured out an important lesson
ITT: 80 IQ dunning kruger retards shitting on ragebait posts because they are failures in life and this ficticious debate is the only opportunity they will ever have in life to dunk on someone else.You should all kill yourselves
Can this nigger faggot die please? Do you retarded monkey niggers not know how to use a calculator? Fuck off. The answer is $600, as answered by like 20 different people.
>>62180745Buy 1: 0Sell 1: +300 (T+300)Buy 2: -100 (T+200)Sell 2: +300 (T+500)$500 EARNed
>>62180745this question is meant to see who is dumb enough to subtract 900 from 1600 or add their own context to change the question. >>62184973that's cute. you could also say they milked and bred the cow before selling for unlimited profit.
>>62180750Buy cow for $1Sell cow for $2Buy cow for $1000Sell cow for $2000By your logic, you bought the cow for $1 and sold it for $2000
math threads on 4chan are hilariousfor whatever reason, they attract a type of neurodivergent that is certain of their wrong answer and keeps making normalfags second guess themselves
>>62180745According to your wallet $300, according to the government $600.
>>62180745ah, this thread again.>>62185200
>>62180745blackrocks actual playbook> borrows cow for small fee, maybe a couple dollars.> sells cow for 900> manipulates market to tell people cows are full of diseases or there is an outbreak of cow fever> cow futures tumble to 50 dollars a cow> buys cow for 50 dollars, returns it to previous borrower pocketing 847 dollars minus 3 dollars in fees> lather, rinse, repeat
>>62180745start at 0, buy for 900-900sell for 1200, this brings us to 300buy again for 1300, this brings us to -1000sell again for 1600, this brings us to600
>>62186207You are not factoring in oppertunity cost, timeframe and taxes which makes it unrealistic and wrong.
>>62180745Here's a better puzzle:I sell a cow to Fred for 1000he sells it back to me for 1200I sell it back to him for 1400he sells it back to me for 1600then I sell it to some retard for 1800how much money did we make and how long are we going to prison?
>>62187128I don't have your Cow here! It's at Bill's house and Fred's house!
>>62180745is this supposed to be hardit seems easy
>>62187128did you collude or were you just speculating on the value of that cow?
>>62180745>a cowSAAAAAAAAAAAAR
