# 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.
