Enter the sale price of oil ($/barrel), the purchase price of oil ($/barrel), and the quantity of oil (barrels) into the calculator to determine the Oil Profit.
Oil Profit Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Oil Profit.
OP = (SO – PO) *QO
- Where OP is the Oil Profit ($)
- SO is the sale price of oil ($/barrel)
- PO is the purchase price of oil ($/barrel)
- QO is the quantity of oil (barrels)
How to Calculate Oil Profit?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Oil Profit.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the sale price of oil ($/barrel). In this example, the sale price of oil ($/barrel) is given as 50 .
- Next, determine the purchase price of oil ($/barrel). For this problem, the purchase price of oil ($/barrel) is given as 25 .
- Next, determine the quantity of oil (barrels). In this case, the quantity of oil (barrels) is found to be 100.
- Finally, calculate the Oil Profit using the formula above:
OP = (SO – PO) *QO
Inserting the values from above yields:
OP = (50 – 25) *100 = 2,500.00 ($)
Example Problem #2
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
sale price of oil ($/barrel) = 40
purchase price of oil ($/barrel) = 30
quantity of oil (barrels) = 135
Entering these values and solving gives:
OP = (40 – 30) *135 = 1,350 ($)
