You hit it on the head, Steve. You're right. You both brought in $50,000 in profit but the profit percentage is higher in your case; you sold at a 50% average profit, whereas Dennis sold at a 25% profit. So it seems that the profit dollars should be somehow weighted against the total sales dollars, do you think? Is this more 'important' than the fact that Dennis actually brought in more sales revenue? I don't know if this matters but I mentioned in my email of a few seconds ago that we are NOT comparing like inventory; a person can sell a $100 item or a $5000 item.
