This chart will help saturate your mind as you listen to my dry exposition:
- Hez’s articles on GDP and coffee.
- DRC’s space program.
- Rwanda Revenue Authority’s tax collecting prowess; take a gander at their website if you like.
- Aptonym.
- Profit.
And for you accounting/finance nerds, a test of your knowledge: to simplify today’s discussion, I did not include overheads in my cost breakdown; in other words, I only considered my variable costs. Thus, what I called the profit margin is better described as which other margin?
I’ll post the answer in the comments.
