Cost Price: The price for which an article is purchased is called the Cost Price (C.P.)

The price at which an article is sold is called the Selling Price (S.P.)
Market Price: The price for which an article
can be bought or sold i.e. the price at which the article is available to the

Profit or
Gain: The difference between the selling price and the cost price (when
S.P. is more than C.P) is called the Profit.

The difference between the cost price and selling price (when C.P. is more than
S.P.) is called the Loss.

Loss or Gain is always Computation on the cost price only.
If, S.P =
Selling Price, C.P = Cost Price and M.P = Market Price,
