Table 2 illustrates how Marx thought this total would be redistributed between the two industries, as "profit" at a uniform return rate, "r", over constant capital. First, the condition that total "profit" must equal total surplus value—in the final row of table 2—is used to determine "r". The result is then multiplied by the value of the constant capital of each industry to get its "profit". Finally, each (absolute) competitive price in labour units is obtained, as the sum of constant capital, variable capital, and "profit" per unit of output, in the last column of table 2.
