Net Profit = Total Revenue – (Total Expenses + Taxes + Depreciation)
Zoinks! There’s some more mysterious words here. Let’s put our investigative skills to the test. 🔍
Net profit is used to indicate a company’s profitability.
Here’s an example:
| Total Revenue | £5,000 |
| Cost of Goods Sold | £2,000 |
| Gross Profit | £3,000 |
| Total Expenses | £1,000 |
| Salaries | £500 |
| Rent | £400 |
| Utilities | £100 |
| Taxes | £500 |
| Depreciation | £100 |
| Net Profit | £3,400 |
Remember, Net Profit = Total Revenue – (Total Expenses + Taxes + Depreciation)
So, £5,000 – (£1,000 + £500 + £100) = a Net Profit of £3,400.
