GROSS commonly means coarse or bulky. In trade it is used with reference to both money and goods. The gross weight of a package includes the weight of the case or wrappings. The larger sum in an account or bill--that is, the sum of money before any allowance or deductions are made--is the gross amount of the bill. The word NET is derived from a Latin word meaning neat, clean, unadulterated, and indicates the amount of goods or money after all the deductions have been made. To say that a price is net is to indicate that no further discount will be made | Up To Date Business by Various 1 PART I em PART II em Part I. of this book entitled Up To Date Business by Various The Project Gutenberg EBook of Up To Date Business by Various This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
