in effetti potrebbe anche essere letterale, dovrebbe essere intuibile dal contesto generale

noci ed uvetta (passa)

Explanation:
It is certainly literal here. The discussion is about the final revenue of a (possibly theater) show - the expenses were:
ad placement
nuts and raisins (I'm assuming snacks for the show which may have been included in the ticket price)
cleaning supplies
(etc)

These expenses were deducted from the final revenue, then divided into 3 equal portions (maybe for three people or maybe to give a per-show final revenue).
