Per-device cost, profit and capital show only to people allowed to see costs; financial reports use a separate permission. Owners can set it per person.
The cost and profit of each device are things shops often don't want everyone to see, so they sit behind the View cost and profit permission. People without it don't see true cost, profit or capital tied up. The shop's overall profit in financial reports uses a separate permission, View financial reports.
Who sees costs by default
The roles holding View cost and profit are: Owner, Store Admin, Manager, Supervisor-Approver, Appraiser, Inventory staff, Accountant, Auditor. Counter roles such as cashiers, and technicians, don't see costs by default.

Letting someone see costs, or not
The owner or an admin can change permissions per person on the team page, adding or removing cost visibility without changing their role. See Adjust one person's permissions, and what each role can do in Store roles: what each can and cannot do.
