Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Profit is simply total revenue minus total expenses. It tells you how much your business earned after costs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gross profit margin formula, Gross Profit Margin = (Revenue – Cost of Goods Sold) / Revenue x 100, shows the percentage ratio of revenue you keep for each sale after all costs are deducted. It is used to indicate how successful a company is in generating revenue, whilst keeping the expenses low.

Detailed explanation-3: -Revenue – Expenses = Profit A positive number means you’re turning a profit. If it’s a negative number, your business is losing money. Zero means you’re breaking even. For example, a business with revenue of $75, 000 per year and $15, 000 in expenses has a net annual profit of $60, 000.
