The Profit Formula We Used
Before we get to the list, let's make sure we're measuring the right thing.
The most important number is not profit per unit - it's profit per HOUR.``` PROFIT PER HOUR = (Selling Price - Material Cost) × (Units You Can Make Per Hour) ```
A keychain that makes $10 profit in 1 minute = $600/hour effective rate. A wood sign that makes $40 profit in 30 minutes = $80/hour effective rate.
The keychain is 7.5× more profitable than the sign.That's why this list is sorted by profit per hour, not just profit per unit.
