In summary, "Customer's 10K Piece Profit Margin: 28.8%" refers to the profit margin earned from selling 10,000 pieces of a product, which in this case is 28.8%. Profit margin is calculated by dividing net income by revenue and is important because it shows how efficient a company is at generating profits. Factors such as cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and competition can affect profit margin, and a higher profit margin may not always indicate a more successful company.

Pretty straight forward, isn't it? If he buys 10,000 "pieces" at 0.20845 each then he paid (10000)(0.20845)= 2084.5. If he sold the 10,000 at 0.33621 each then his income is (10000)(0.33621)= 3362.1. His profit margin is 3362.1- 2084.5= 1277.6.

Another way: buy each item at 0.20845 and selling for 0.33621 he makes a profit of 0.33621- 0.20845= 0.12776. For 10000 pieces, that is a total of 1277.6.
