Profitability will almost always depend on the specific coin in question, not an algorithm.

It all can depend.  If your mining and holding coins its very different then mining and trading for BTC.  Easiest is BTC to mine.  Scrypt you might hold some and hit a homerun.  It is harder to predict scrypt profits.  BTC profits are easier to do ROI math on.

Because you sell cheap.
Consider selling at 0.005 instead of 0.004 and under.

I can't answer this question..
I'm not really good in maths and don't have enough time to calculate it

Convert Mh/s depending on algorythm + electricity costs, + difficulty vs rewards + market value etc..  too complicated for me

I use some online tools to get an idea and i mine on "profitable' pools
