How much money did the store lose?

---

Problem is the word “money”.

The company now has $30 less in the till, plus one less item of inventory.

The item has a selling point of $70. If they would have sold it for $70, then they have lost $70 of revenue.

But in their books they don’t realize a $70 loss. They realize whatever their carry cost is for that inventory item.

But you asked how much “money” they lost.

They lost $30 in money.
