plan is 0 profit and actual profit is 'a' where , so by your calclation projected profit is .
This has a zero divisor and cannot be defined.
A company projects that it receives no profit (zero) in a period. However, it receives the profit in the amount of 300 currency units.
What is the difference between the actual result and plan in percentage? Say, if it projects a profit of 200 and the actual profit is 300, we get (300-200)/200=50% , the actual result is 50% better than the plan.
But what is the percentage result if the beginning value is zero?
Helpe me please! Some say this has no solution. I don't believe it's that bad!
