I am not trying to get straight answes I just really want to get a lead on it that's all. I just need a little explanation
I know I am suppose to subtract the market price the cost price bt I dk where to go from there

Not sure why you think you need to subtract anything.

A hint: don't make this difficult cause it's easy as pie. It means quite literally to use the lower of the cost or the market price. For product 849, which is lower, the cost or market? Use that for that product. Etc. That's it.
