Not sure what's left to say tbh.
As someone who has a degree in economics and who's getting a finance/accounting MBA i'm really shocked how a graduate student like yourself has such a poor grasp of math.
losing money two years in a row does not equal a positive value. -100+-50=-150 not positive 50
like lmao i feel dumb for engaging you
Here's a better example
A company is losing 1 trillion dollars a year
The next year they release a new product that is so monumentally amazing that it generates 900 billion dollars more than it costs to produce.
Did they make a profit on that product? Yes. There is no question. Even though the company is not profitable, the product they released was insanely profitable.
This isn't hard. The difference of two negative numbers can be positive, it's basic math.
When you say you can't break things into pieces that shows you have no clue what you're talking about and probably don't have an economics degree, at least not one that's worth anything. Accounting is all about breaking things into pieces
