Calculate Math

Simplified

• This example we are going to use Port 1 to Port 4 with following Values
  • Supply Crate Buy: $448
  • Supply Crate Sell: $790
  • Trade Tax: 25%
    • These are core information you get initially when Port Trading!
  • Now to work out Tax Price $ (Trade Tax)
    • 448 (Price per unit) x 0.25(Tax Rate)=$122($ in tax)
  • Now adding Price Per unit with $ in Trade Tax
    • 448 (unit Per unit) + $122 ($ in tax)= $560 (Price per unit w/Tax)
  • Now calculating Buying Crates price
    • $560 (Price per unit w/Tax) x 30,000 (Buying Crates)= $16,800,000 (Cost of Crate with Tax)
  • Now to Calculate Before Profit (No Tax here)
    • 790 (Sell Price per unit) x $16,800,000 (Cost of Crate with Tax) = $23,700,000 (Crate Profit before initial cost)
  • Now calculate Profit
    • $23,700,000 (Crate Profit before initial cost) - $16,800,000 (Cost of Crate with Tax) = $6,900,000 (Crate Profit)

Explain Letters

Letter	Description
A	Buy Crate (30,000 Units)
B	Buy Price Per Unit
C	Trade Tax %
D	Trade Tax in $
E	Buy Price with Trade Tax
F	Buy Crate w/ Buy Price with Trade Tax
H	Sell Price
I	Profit w/Buy Crate
J	Profit without Buy Crate

• This example we are going to use Port 1 to Port 4 with following Values
  • Supply Crate Buy: $448 (B)
  • Supply Crate Sell: $790 (H)
  • Trade Tax: 25% (C)
    • These are core information you get initially when your deep Sea Port Trading!
• Now to work out Tax Price $ (D) (Trade Tax)
  • 448 (B) * 0.25 (C) = $112 (H)
• Calculate Price(B) with (H)
  • $448 (B) + $112 (H) = $560 (E)

• Now to calculate Price w/Tax with buying 30,000 Units
  • 30,000 (A) x 560 (E) = $16,800,000 (F)
• Now to Calculate Before Profit (No Tax here)
  • $790 (H) x 30,000 (A) = $23,700,000 (I)
• Now to Calculate After Profit (J)
  • $23,700,000 (I) - $16,800,000 (F) = 6,900,000 (J)
