I apologise if this is the incorrect thread. Okay, so stock losses come directly off the bottom line, right?

So if you are lucky enough to run at a NP percentage of 10% of turnover, and you write off a R300 part, you have to do a turnover of R3000 to recoup the loss.

But, if your business is running a loss because of stock (and cash, but that's a whole other story) loss etc. How do you calculate he amount of turnover needed to recoup that loss?
