💡 Analysis & Explanation
First Asset Dynamics ▼
The first pen has a Cost Price of ₹630. A 70% markup establishes an initial target price of 630 * 1.70 = ₹1071. Applying the 9% negotiation discount makes the actual Selling Price = 1071 * 0.91 = ₹974.61.
First Margin Calculation ▼
The isolated profit generated from the first pen is 974.61 - 630 = ₹344.61.
Second Asset Dynamics ▼
The second pen is purchased for ₹722 and seamlessly sold at a straight 71% profit margin. The profit here is directly 722 * 0.71 = ₹512.62.
Aggregate Income ▼
Merging the net gains from both individual transactions gives 344.61 + 512.62 = ₹857.23.
Conclusion ▼
The complete calculated financial profit stands at ₹857.23.
