# Ordinary Profits of Stock
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The normal rate of return that capital can expect to earn in a particular
|
||||
trade or industry under competitive market conditions, serving as a benchmark
|
||||
for evaluating investment opportunities.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book IV, Chapter 5
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith uses ordinary profits as a standard for determining whether bounties
|
||||
are necessary, arguing that trades earning ordinary profits don't require
|
||||
subsidies, while those earning below this rate may indicate fundamental
|
||||
unprofitability.
