Of course it cannot be determined with mathematical exactitude, in each individual case, how much has been contributed to the making of the total profit by the objective factor, the cil'pital, and how much by the Nevertheless we personal factor, the undertaker's activity. borrow a scale from outside, and divide off the two shares arithmetically.
