If the shopkeeper did not earn any profit on the goods sold to that lady, then, the loss incurred is $1000 ($700 goods + $300 cash).

However, in reality, business entities exist for the purpose of making profits. Therefore, original loss to shopkeeper is cost of goods sold to that lady + $300. The profit element is not a loss.
