Redman Manufacturers is tracking 5 items from the last month's sales. On item #1 they make $15; item #2 loses $4; item #3 makes $9; item #4 loses $6; and item #5 makes $12. Last months sales are as follows:
Item #1: 90 Units sold
Item #2: 103 units sold
Item #3: 78 units sold
Item #4: 45 units sold

15*90 - 4*103 + 9*78 - 6*45 + 12*164 = $3.338
the profit is: 15*90 + 9*78 + 12*164 = $4.020
the loss is: 4*103 +6*45 = 682
total profit is: 4.020 - 682 = $3.338
