The question so simplified that I don't think anyone can give you a name. I'm sure that the first person who ever bought and sold a product of any kind , at the end of the day, sat down and totaled his outlay, cost of all his goods, subtracted that from all the money he had received that day, and presto knew how much profit he derived. "Profit" in this context is a misnomer and
is too simplified to function in the real business world.
That's another world.

There is evidence that it was the Phoenicians. Several ancient stone/clay inscribed tablets indicate that they contain figures on trade transactions by these early traders.
