How to Calculate Rate of Profit?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Rate of Profit.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the surplus value ($). In this example, the surplus value ($) is given as 1000.
- Next, determine the capital invested ($). For this problem, the capital invested ($) is given as 3000.
- Finally, calculate the Rate of Profit using the equation above:
ROP = SV / CI
The values given above are inserted into the equation below:
ROP = 1000 / 3000 = .33
Example Problem #2:
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
surplus value ($) = 140
capital invested ($) = 200
Entering these values and solving gives:
ROP = 140 / 200 = .7
