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.
Profit (also known as net income) or loss is defined as sales minus costs and expenses. Sales (revenue) were discussed above, but what are costs and expenses? At the most basic level, costs and expenses include any resources (cash as well as manpower or other resources) expended in the running of the business.
