Using BIDMAS I’d say you earned nothing because this isn’t work

"

So you bought it for 800 then sold it for 1000 witch meant you made 200 profit

You rebout it for 1100 witch means your profit is now 100

Then you sold it for 1300 witch is another 200 profit

Witch means your total profit is 300

To stop this madness progressing and ruining my beauty sleep.

Let's assume you started with £1000 in the bank.

Bought for 800 now 200 in the bank. Sold for 1000 so now 1200 in the bank. Up 200.

Bought for 1100 so now 100 in the bank. Sold for 1300 so now 1400 in the bank. Started with 1000 and now got 1400 so 400 profit.

The bigger question is what to do with the 400 profit?

Then you sold it for 1300 witch is another 200 profit

Give me strength - you didn't lose 100 when you bought it for 1100. Are you on a wind up?

Yes you do as you didn’t have 1100 you had 1000 so you have to add 100 of your own money to get it

"

You can start with whatever amount you want in the bank. I was just making it easy. The numbers would be the same accept you would have an overdraft of -100 when you bought it.

Here you go:

Started with 800 in the bank. Bought for 800 so now zero in the bank. Sold for 1000 so 1000 in the bank.

Bought for 1100 so overdraft of 100. Sold for 1300 so 1200 in the bank. Started with 800 and now got 1200.

I will make this a test for any potential sexual partner and refuse to have sex if they get it wrong.

The question doesn’t say how much the person has in the bank

The only starting number we have is 800

So it’s 800 sold for 1000 is 200 profit

You then re buy and hafe to add 100 witch means your 100 down out your profit

Then sold for 1300 witch is 200 profit

Witch means total profit is 300

Follow the calculations of your bank balance or cash in hand step by step starting with 800. I've literally typed it all out above. You can lead a horse to water.........

If you only have £800 to start, you can't buy the cow for £1,100. You would only have £1,000 in the bank from the first sale!

The profit must be £400.

I think the issue here is that we are not including people that don’t have access to overdrafts and prove that are only dealing in cash. Terrible terrible world. Just ban the money. Ban the profit and spread love.

I Bought A Cow For $800 Riddle Explanation

To explain, let us read the riddle once again. The full riddle reads I Bought A Cow For $800. I sold it for $1000. I bought it again for $1100. I sold it again for $1300 Dollars. How Much Did I Earn.

Here in the first statement, the riddle says I bought a cow for $800. Thereafter I sold it for $1000. So I make $1000-$800 = $200.

Now the 3rd statement says I bought it again for $1100. Here if you see, I have bought the same cow again for $1100. So I had a loss of $100 as previously the cow was sold for $1000 and bought again at $1100.

Next statement of the riddle says I sold it again for $1300. So now I have made $1300-$1100=$200 in this transaction.

So Firstly I made $200 in the first transaction. Thereafter I lost $100 in the second transaction. Thereafter I made $200 in the final transaction.

So the finally I made $200 – $100 + $200 = $300.

Therefore, I Bought A Cow For $800 Riddle Answer is $300.

Honestly people don’t start a business up

It’s far too late and I’m confused. If I bought the cow for £800 and sold it eventually for £1300, even with the £100 that let’s say I borrowed from Thomas, going back to Thomas, I’ve got £400 more than I started with?

"

To make a profit or loss you have to buy and sell.

The first buy-and-sell deal netted you £200. That's the end of that business.

At some later time, you buy a cow for £1,100. This is the start of new business. The fact that it happens to be the same cow is irrelevant. And the proceeds of the first business are insufficient to cover the cost of the new one. But you haven't lost £100 to anyone. Maybe you borrowed it.

So business deal number 1 makes £200

And business number 2 makes another £200

Profit from two separate business deals is £400.

I started with £800. I sold my cow for £1000.

Nice. I’ve made £200! I bought that same cow for £1100. And had to reinvest that £200 plus an extra £100 I’ve borrowed from Thomas. I then sell the cow for a whopping £1300. Hooray. I’ve gone from £800 to £1300! Thomas thanks for the £100, mate, have it back! Now I’ve got £1200.

Here in the first statement, the riddle says I bought a cow for $800. Thereafter I sold it for $1000. So I make $1000-$800 = $200.

Now the 3rd statement says I bought it again for $1100. Here if you see, I have bought the same cow again for $1100. So I had a loss of $100 as previously the cow was sold for $1000 and bought again at $1100.

Next statement of the riddle says I sold it again for $1300. So now I have made $1300-$1100=$200 in this transaction.

So Firstly I made $200 in the first transaction. Thereafter I lost $100 in the second transaction. Thereafter I made $200 in the final transaction.

So the finally I made $200 – $100 + $200 = $300.

Therefore, I Bought A Cow For $800 Riddle Answer is $300.

Honestly people don’t start a business up

As Abraham Lincoln once said - "don't believe everything you read on the internet"

Like I sed don’t start a business up it fail dramticly

I think my Abraham Lincoln quote went over your head much like this primary school maths problem.

That much primer school maths problems I literally had to spell the answer out to you anyway I am done with this conversation just as simple as that you shown me all I need to see "

There is even a YouTube video to explain to people like you where they are going wrong.

The question is how much did they “earn”

The answer is £400 as during the interactions, the total they earned was £400. Money lost isn’t part of the question

"I started with £800. I sold my cow for £1000.

Nice. I’ve made £200! I bought that same cow for £1100. And had to reinvest that £200 plus an extra £100 I’ve borrowed from Thomas. I then sell the cow for a whopping £1300. Hooray. I’ve gone from £800 to £1300! Thomas thanks for the £100, mate, have it back! Now I’ve got £1200. "

Who is this Thomas you speak of and do you think he’ll lend me £100 too?

Seriously can you not add up ?

You invested an initial amount and ended up with a higher amount take one from the other that’s your (gross) revenue. Take off any costs of sales and tax that’s your net profit

"Seriously can you not add up ?

Net profit is 300

Right I am going to do this simple

First you spend 800 on a cow

Next you sell it for 100 means 200 profit

Now you have to buy a cow for 1100 you don’t have 1110 you only have 1000 so you need to add 100 off your own money take your profits down form 200 to 100

Then you sell that cow for 1300 witch is another 200 profit

Witch means net profit is 300 it’s business economy 101

Oh Natalie, I love you but I truly don’t understand this rationale at all! Besides which the OP has said £300 and £400 are the wrong answers, so who know what the actual correct answer is?! Perhaps this is one of those times where we will have to agree to disagree

Look at like this you start the day trading with 900 and end with 1300. That’s all there is to it.

and it’s not net profit it’s gross revenue , two completely things in business economy 102, the edition not for dummies

"I bought a cow for £800

I sold it for £1000

I bought it back for £1100

I sold it again for £1300

How much did I earn ?

"

Something tells me the easy answer isn’t right

Total out 800 + 1100 = 1900

Total in 1000 + 1300 = 2300

2300 - 1900 = 400

But it wouldn’t be a riddle if it was that easy, so I think the misdirection is in the “how much did I earn” part but I can’t see why

“ 1. Before I posted, the top answer on Google search is $300 which is WRONG. There is genuine confusion! People who got the correct answer of $300 may even doubt themselves.

2. This is a real world math problem. You need to know this to manage your money and file your taxes properly! There is no shame if you got it wrong. The only shame is in being stubborn about a wrong answer. Math and economics are skills and we need to practice them.

The answer

You earned $400.”

No, the easy answer was right, just too many people are dumb

Profit = Income - Costs

Income = 1000 + 1300 = 2300

Costs = 800 + 1100 = 1900

But your 100 short to by the next cow witch means you need to add 100 out your own pocket witch means you profits is 300 you can’t by the second cow without add 100 in to it

That £100 is unnecessary. You need to have had £800 at the beginning to even buy the cow.

I think you need to read up on basic maths. The ordering doesn’t matter. Change the numbers round if you want and plug them into the equation - the answer is still the same.

Are you an accountant? Do you prepare and file financial statements? Do you report to a ICAEW member? Do you understand the difference between earnings, profit and taxable profit? Do you understand capital allowances and disallowable expenses? Do you understand farming and how items are reported in the P/L and BS?

Often people can trip themselves up because they look into something far too hard.

Ok a cow is a fixed asset. Interestingly a chicken is not.

So these represent capital gains not earnings and would be subject to CGT not income tax.

Earnings are £0.00 capital gain is £400.00

The order you buy and sell doesn’t matter - do you agree with that?

If you do agree then what do you think the profit is if you buy both cows first and then sell them?

You can’t buy a 1100 cow for 1000 you got to add a 100 off your own money witch drops the first cow’s profits down

Where did the original £800 come from then?

F"

My company spent 800 on a cow

We sold it for 1000

Now we 100 short off the next cow

So I add 100 to get the next cow

Then sell that for 1300

Witch means I invest 900 in total

Are you an accountant? Do you prepare and file financial statements? Do you report to a ICAEW member? Do you understand the difference between earnings, profit and taxable profit? Do you understand capital allowances and disallowable expenses? Do you understand farming and how items are reported in the P/L and BS?

"I bought a cow for £800

I sold it for £1000

I bought it back for £1100

I sold it again for £1300

How much did I earn ?

"

Obviously we need more info:

- Was the cow purchased using capital of finance (Include interest rates)

- How old was the cow when first purchased

- How long did you have it

- What was the cost per day of keeping the cow

- Did she produce any calves

- Was she producing milk during this time (if yes what was the value of the yield)

- How long between selling and re-purchasing the cow

- Was the cow purchased using capital of finance (Include interest rates)

- How long did you keep it the second time

- What was the daily cost of keeping the cow the second time

- Did the cow produce any calves during the second ownership

- Was she producing milk during this time (if yes what was the value of the yield)

Ignoring tax rules, I see the second transaction as negating the first because it's a higher amount. Therefore, the "earnings" are £200?

So you bought it for 800 then sold it for 1000 witch meant you made 200 profit

Correct

You rebout it for 1100 witch means your profit is now 100

Incorrect, this is the fallacy in your argument, your profit is now -£900 (+200 - 1100), not £100

Then you sold it for 1300 witch is another 200 profit

Witch means your total profit is 300

Incorrect, your profit is now -900 + 1300 = 400

A cow is your trading stock which is in the production herd on the balance sheet. The trading income that cow generates is liable to income tax, not capital gains tax.

She didn't say anything about the cow being part of a business endeavour. Wouldn't she need to be a registered livestock trader for that to apply?

Mathematically speaking it is two transactions each making £200 profit so £400 profit in total. Any other answers with ifs and buts are not relevant as are not in the question and are only assumptions and conditions that any of us could dream up. On the serious issue of basic maths, there are indeed far too many people in this country still that leave school or college without those skills for lots of different reasons which perhaps is a subject for anotjer thread. Same applies to literacy and increasingly so to data literacy too.

This is the most entertaining post I've read in a while haha

As someone who flicks fingers on a calculator for a living my answer is £400 as in you have £400 cash money at the end of the transactions. If you 'earn' your money from buying and selling cows then you could class the £400 as earnt, or you could take off all the bits you need to to stay legal and call that earnt. Either way, who knew cows, sorry, cow, it was the same animal after all, could make an entertaining forum post

Just out of interest, which breed of cow is it/was it?

I don’t think the responses were particularly bad - they were focussing on answering a basic maths question. I could just see that someone who was normally quite lucid was not doing what I would have expected of them. I did wonder if her account had been hacked.

I’m afraid the thread is going to get too long before the OP comes back online and enlightens us all with the answer

There’s loads of these on social media (I saw this one months ago on Twitter) - they’re designed to cause arguments!

Others look simple like 6+6+6x0=?

And then all carnage ensues between those that use BODMAS vs those that don’t ..

Dare I hazard as guess and say 12?

And if anyone disagrees, 1v1 on call of duty. You pick the map no snipers

You are right but most of us are not here to argue. A bit of banter and lighthearted comments are fine. When it becomes so intense and personal is no longer fun. I wish a mod took this thread of as does not show the 'community' in a good light. Just my opinion of course but there you go.

"Ok a cow is a fixed asset. Interestingly a chicken is not.

So these represent capital gains not earnings and would be subject to CGT not income tax.

Earnings are £0.00 capital gain is £400.00

A cow is your trading stock which is in the production herd on the balance sheet. The trading income that cow generates is liable to income tax, not capital gains tax.

She didn't say anything about the cow being part of a business endeavour. Wouldn't she need to be a registered livestock trader for that to apply?

If I sell my car and buy another one I'm not automatically operating a motor trade business?

True. You've assumed she isn't in business and I've assumed she is, and that's ok for us both to assume differently. We won't know who is correct on that one "

I'll accept a parlay on those terms. It is the law of the accountant sea. If only other captains could be as wise: perhaps there'd be less bloodshed.

"I bought a cow for £800

I sold it for £1000

I bought it back for £1100

I sold it again for £1300

How much did I earn ?

So you bought it for 800 then sold it for 1000 witch meant you made 200 profit

You rebout it for 1100 witch means your profit is now 100

Then you sold it for 1300 witch is another 200 profit

Witch means your total profit is 300 "

You're counting selling for 1000 twice. The steps in your calculation are:

Bought for 800

Sold for 1000

Sold for 1000 (wrong)

Bought for 1100

Sold for 1300

The answer is 400, and the "right" answer is OP, you need to stop trusting answers to riddles sent in WhatsApp forwards. They're designed to maximise shares, not be mathematically sound.

"£200 because you spent the first sales profit on Jaffa cakes."

Don't forget in the real world by the time you have added VAT and selling fees and cow food. You don't have a profit and the cow has been seized to pay off your debt.

By you own logic the only answer can be £200.

"£1300

What about the £800 for the first cow.

1300-800=500

You are assuming isn’t one of the head wobble brigade. The answer is unequivocally £400. It is so simple and obvious that I can’t believe this thread is so long
