The notion in economics

Gross can also be applied to an amount of money to which no type of discount or withholding has been applied. In this sense, gross is the opposite of net. A gross salary of 5,000 pesos can become, after discounts for social security contributions (retirement, insurance, social work), a net salary of 4,100 pesos.

Known as the gross (or profit ) margin, the result of subtracting the costs of production or acquisition of a good or service from its sales price without VAT. This is a unit margin that does not take taxes into account and can be expressed in money or units sold.

Likewise, the gross weight is the total weight of a product or merchandise, while the net weight is the actual weight of that product without counting the weight of the container. A person buys a kilo of olives in brine, but only receives eight hundred net grams of olives. This means that the gross weight of the package was one kilo, with two hundred grams between the container and the brine and the remaining eight hundred grams in olives.

Marcus Junius Brutus

Brutus was also the surname of Marcus Junius , a Roman soldier belonging to the last stage of the Roman Republic . He lived between 85 BC. C. and 42 BC. C. and he dedicated himself to politics, always bringing his convictions to the forefront. He is especially remembered for having been among the leaders of the conspiracy that aimed at the execution of Julius Caesar , two years before his own death. Other members of his family were also involved in the murder and his mother was Julius Caesar 's own lover.
