Selling Price - (Item Cost + Selling Fees) = Profit

10

column B - (column C + column D) = Profit

TO COMPUTE FOR ROI / ITEM

16

Remember the Order of Operations

Expressions in parenthesis are treated as one number

and must be calculated first.

Multiplication and division must be completed

before addition and subtraction.

17

column B - (column C + column D) / (column C + column D) = ROI

18

To illustrate: 15.99 - (2.60 + 2.40) / (2.60 + 2.40) = ROI

19

To create the formula, let’s calculate first the numbers in parenthesis.

column B - (column C + column D) / (column C + column D) = ROI

2.60 + 2.40

2.60 + 2.40

20

Continue solving the equation.

15.99 - 5 / 5 = ROI

21

Then …

10.99 / 5 = ROI

22

Add column F to display ‘ROI / Item’

23

Repeat formula for the all the rows.
