1t must be borne in mind that an
increase or decrease in net profits does
not mean the variation was that much
OF the gross sales of the merchant. For
example, if merchant reported an
increase of five per cent in net profits,
he meant his profits had increased five
per cent over the same period of the
year before. In other words, if his
profits in given period were 800, and
he increased them five per cent, they
