The basis for the revenue and profit data is the Fortune Global 500 List, Fortune, August/September 2020, pp. F1-F22. The profit increase is calculated by assuming a corporate tax of 30%. This means that of 1% price increase 0.7% are net profit. The profit increase is calculated as follows: profit increase in percent = 0.7%/net margin in % × 100. For Walmart 0.7%/2.84% × 100 = 24.6%.
