Best Party Ever
Mookie The Beagle™, his black, white, and tan fur freshly brushed and shining, scampered to the park with a bundle of craft supplies. He dreamed of throwing the best party ever, but he knew it needed effort.
“Let’s learn about profit margins while we plan a bash!” he woofed to his friends, Maggie the Havanese and Ozzie the Goldendoodle, who gathered around a picnic table under twinkling fairy lights strung between trees.
Profits Can Make People Happy
Mookie’s white paws arranged a large bone-shaped chart on the table. “Profit is how much money we keep after costs and expenses (money out)—it’s like measuring how efficient our business is.”
Wearing party hats, they got creative making handmade dog tags with colorful beads, string, and clay charms.
Each tag cost $1 to make but sold for $3 at a little park market stall.
“Per tag: revenue (money in) $3 minus cost (money out) $1 equals $2 profit,” Mookie demonstrated on the chart. “That means we make $2 profit for each tag we sell!”
As families with kidz strolled by, admiring the tags, they sold 50 in total, earning $150 revenue (money in) and $100 profit after costs (money out).
With the profit, they bought balloons, games, and treats for the party under the starry night sky. Music played, and everyone danced.
Mookie explained amid the fun: “If our margin was low, say from high costs, we’d adjust—like buying cheaper beads. Understanding profits helps businesses grow bigger and better!”
Every Business A Winner!
The kidz laughed, twirling with Mookie, his bushy tail wagging wildly. “Profit makes every business a winner!” he barked, as fireworks lit up the sky.
