How to Calculate CD Profit?

The following example problems outline how to calculate CD Profit.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total CD sale price ($). In this example, the total CD sale price ($) is given as 5000.
  2. Next, determine the total CD purchase price ($). For this problem, the total CD purchase price ($) is given as 4200.
  3. Finally, calculate the CD Profit using the equation above: 

CDP = SP – P

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

CDP = 5000 – 4200 = 800 ($)


Example Problem #2: 

The variables needed for this problem are provided below:

total CD sale price ($) = 10000

total CD purchase price ($) = 7000

Entering these values and solving gives:

CDP = 10,000 – 7000 = 3,000 ($)
