Make big profit

How much does the Tobacco Industry profit each year off of cigarettes sales

how do you compare a profit and loss account from present and previous years to show increased profits in present years or improvement in performances. please i want as much answers thanks.

A company profit and loss account includes:

dividend – $300,000
increase in stock – $200,000
overheads – $400,000
purchases – $800,000

If the net profit percentage is 20%, what is the figure for sales?

HIHI~ I have two short questions that I don’t know how to explain, can somebody give me a helpful hand^^~

1.”Bank statement and bank columns of the cash book both record the cash paid in and out of the business bank account, so they shold have the same balance.” Comment.

2. A Manager suggested that full cost of the mahinery should be charged against Profit and Loss account in the year of purchase rather than by months. Do you agree?

Does it go in the profit and loss?

And also does the bad debts go in the profit and loss?

and where does the production wages go?

and where does bank charges go?

I need to do a research paper for my Fund accounting class and the topic needs to be a junior level non-for profit accounting topic.

Can you help me?

I want to know how can I calculate profit of the year, without preparing a Profit and loss account(income statement)?
Actually I have the companies Trial balance of the year, using them what can I do??
I’ve asked some questions and I found out that if I prepare my Balance sheet correctly I can find out that the difference between the assets and Liabilities+capital is retained profit

I am doing a research paper and I still havent found anything I am looking for. I am looking for statistics or quotes stating that increasing prices doesnt mean you make profit.
