Answer 2

So the table gives you the net profit individually for each month, with negative values representing loss, and positive values representing profit.

If you add up values from month to month, that would be the cumulative profit. By the time you add up to the last month, that would give you the net profit or loss.

For example, the cumulative value for February is -345 (loss of $345), for March, it is -345-273=-618, i.e. a cumulative loss of 618 dollars, ... and so on.

Generally, positive number represent profit, and negative number represent loss.
So choose the value accordingly.

Answer 3

Same method that people explained to you for the last problem. "Net profit" means the sum of all the positive and negative numbers.
Is ther something specific you need to know about _how_ to do this?

Answer 4

just add up everything in the column. (:
