He earned $75 for each prebuilt TV which Ned delivered and installed in a customer’s home. Ned buys TVs in bulk at an average price of $300 per unit.

He then proceeded to purchase an oven, a mixer and other related equipment, machines and tools for his baking needs. He also purchased raw materials such as flour, sugar, and all sort of baking supplies. Because it is the only bakeshop operating in town, the sale of bakery products rises steeply.
