Companies will occasionally sell products at a loss in order to draw in customers or as a reward to good customers. The theory is that customers will buy other products along with the discounted product and the net result will be a profit. Beguhn Industries sells five different products. For each unit of product sold, the company makes or loses the following: product A, makes 18 dollar; product B, loses S4; product C, makes 11 dollar; product D, makes 38 dollar; and product $\mathrm{E},$ loses 15 dollar. During the previous month, Beguhn Industries sold 127 units of product $A, 273$ units of product B, 201units of product C 377 units of product D and 43 units of product E. Calculate the profit or loss for the month.
