How Buying and Selling the Same Cow Twice Makes a Profit

Step 1: First Transaction

• Buy price: €800

• Sell price: €1,000

• Profit: €1,000 – €800 = €200

Step 2: Second Transaction

• Buy price: €1,100

• Sell price: €1,300

• Profit: €1,300 – €1,100 = €200

Total Profit

• €200 + €200 = €400

Conclusion

Although it’s the same cow, each transaction is separate. Each sale yields €200 profit, resulting in a total profit of €400.
