Profit Basics. Profit is the long-term objective of any for-profit business. Profit is the net income of the business. In general, profit equals revenue less expenses. However, companies typically calculate multiple measures of profit on an income statement. Gross profit shows the total revenue minus the variable costs, or cost of goods sold. Operating income and non-operating activities are added or subtracted to gross profit to determine total profit for a given period.
Calculating a profit. A profit is made when something is sold for more than it cost to buy. It is the money made on a deal. When money is lost on a deal, it is called a loss. To work out how much profit is made on something you have to first find out how much it cost, then how much it was sold for. The difference between these two is the profit, or loss. Have a look at the example below. Example. A greengrocer bought 8 bunches of grapes for Â£6.24 and was able to sell them all for Â£1.20 per bunch. How much profit did the greengrocer make? Selling price = 8 x Â£1.20 = Â£9.60. Profit = Â£9.60 - Â£6.24 = Â£3.36
