To determine

Profit-oriented organizations:

The primary goal of every business is to earn profits. Profit-oriented organizations sell goods and services to its consumers with the aim of generating revenue and earnings. The overall condition of such types of organizations is fully dependent on their ability to earn more revenue that the expenses.

The three basic forms of profit-oriented business organizations are as follows:

  1. 1. Sole proprietorship: A sole proprietorship is an enterprise owned and controlled by a particular individual. In such type of an enterprise, there is no legal difference between the owner and the entity. The owner directly controls all the activities of the business. The proprietor receives all profits and has responsibility for all losses and debts.
  2. 2. Partnership: A partnership is a business, in which two or more individuals carry on a business come into a legal relationship through an agreement to carry on a business as co-owners. The general idea of a partnership is that such type of a business has multiple owners, with each owner investing in the business. Such type of a business is not a separate legal entity from its owners and the profits and losses are equally divided among the partners.
  3. 3. Corporation: A corporation is a company or a group of people acting as a separate legal entity.  A corporation enjoys rights and responsibilities similar to an individual. This indicates that a corporation has the right to sue and be sued, take loan and borrow money, enter into a contract, own assets, pay taxes, and hire employees. Hence, such type of an entity is often termed as a “legal person.”

Searching and Splitting Sometimes you need to search for the location of the first occurrence of a character or sub-string within a larger string. A common example is to find the location of the "@" symbol in an email address so you can isolate the username of the address. In cell D12, find the location of the "@" symbol in the email address in cell C12. Search for the location of the text string "@" within an email address: Finally, you can combine SEARCH and LEFT to isolate the username of the email address. SEARCH tells you where the "@" symbol is located and LEFT needs to know how many characters on the left you want to keep; which SEARCH can provide. Try combining SEARCH and LEFT in cell D13 to isolate the email username from cell C13. Note: there is one slight modification you will need to make to the SEARCH part of the formula to get just the username. See if you can figure it out. Split off username from email address. Hint: search for @ symbol:
