You people crack me up they are making it up by volume

Al, baby, aren't you embarrassed over saying something this stupid?

If there is a net loss per unit , you can never make it up by volume. For instance, if something costs $10,000 and it's sold for $10,001, the dollar over isn't going to be "making it up by volume" after 10,000 units are sold. If the unit costs $10,000 and it sells for $10,001 dollars, the costs are made up immediately by the first $10,000 of the selling price. The $1, being a receipt in excess of cost, is profit. Costs are never made up on volume. They are only made up only by the individual sale. If the company can sell it for less than the cost per unit and still make a profit, it's because the company is giving up profit on something else that it sells.

Aren't we all getting just a little wound up over an off the cuff humorous comment? I got a chuckle out of it, geez.

What's the standard term here, Lighten Up Francis?
