GainIn electronics, gain is the ratio of signal output[?] from a system to signal input[?] to the system. A signal is usually measured in units of power, since a power gain is considered more meaningful than a voltage gain.The ratio is often expressed in decibels (dB). For example, if output=500mW and input=5mW then
gain=500/5 = 100 = 2B (bel) or 20dB In finance, gain is profit or increase in value of an investment such as stock and bond. Gain is calculated by fair market value[?] or proceed[?] from sale of the investment minus the sum of purchase price and all costs associated with it. If the investment isn't converted into cash or another asset the gain is called unrealized gain. Each
