How do you know whether you are profiting from the use of money? A manager who does not accurately summarize profit and loss can easily fall into a reporting trap: If profits have been earned when, in fact, a net loss has taken place.
This occurs when you overlook the effects of hidden costs, inflation, and taxes. These all affect your estimate of profits; when considered collectively, they can be significant.

The profitability of any activity relies on the accuracy of these estimates.
