What is the difference between net profit and gross profit?
354091
Gross profit is sales - COGS, so you figure out the profit after the raw goods/direct labor.\n\nNet profit takes into account a whole bunch of other factors.  It's how much the company actually made and can "keep" in the form of retained earnings.\n\n-SG&A\n-interest expense on debt\n-taxes\n-other one-time income or expenses

Based on their Income Statement at Hoovers these would be their daily numbers for year ending June 05 (based on 365 days year).  When you ask how much money they earn that could be income, profit, etc so I just picked 3 number to calculate daily.\n\nDaily Gross Income: $109,008,219.18\nDaily Gross Profit: $94,364,383.56\nDaily Net Income: $33,572,602.74

Depends what kind of "profit"

Let me try to give examples for when you use one, and when you use the \nother.\n\nThe profit of Company A, SYZO Ltd., has grown over the last three \nyears by 10 million, 12 million, and 14 million dollars. It is \nappropriate to say that it has grown by an average of 12 million \ndollars yearly, for which we use the arithmetic mean.\n\nThe profit of Company B, OZYS Ltd., has grown the over last three \nyears by 2.5%, 3%, and 3.5%. Here we cannot use the arithmetic mean \nand say that the average growth was 3%. Why not?\n\nSuppose that Company B, OZYS Ltd., started with a 100-million-dollar \nprofit. Three years later it will have become:\n\n     $100,000,000 * 1.025 * 1.03 * 1.035 = $109,270,125\n\nThis is less than a yearly increase of 3% would yield, since:\n\n     $100,000,000 * 1.03 * 1.03 * 1.03   = $109,272,700\n\nHere we see that we should use the geometric mean of the growth \nfactors 1.025, 1.03, and 1.035 to find the average percentage. That is \nalways less than the arithmetic mean would yield.\n\nI hope this helps.

Last year, Yahoo! had a revenue of $3.57 billion, while Google had a revenue of $3.19 billion.\n\nHowever, as you can see from Steve's answer, Google has a greater profit margin.  This is probably because of Yahoo! features like Yahoo! Music that may earn revenue, but are expensive to maintain.

There are many different types of income-net income, comprehensive income, etc... Gross income is basically revenues and gains minus expenses and losses. Net income is gross income minus taxes. Comprehensive income includes non-monetary things, such as increases/decreases in market values of assets. These things are added or subtracted from net income.\n\nProfit is directly related to products and services. For example, sales minus cost of goods sold (what the business paid)= profit. \nRevenue can be sales revenue, revenue collected from interest on investments, etc... It is actual money earned.\n\nOf course, it's a lot more complicated than this, but I don't know how in-depth of an answer your looking for.

It is a summary of all income gained and expenses incurred by a business. The income less the expenses equals profit. If the expenses are higher than the income, it equals a loss.

The manufacturer's total profit is given by his revenues minus his costs\n\nFor 0 < x <= 3 tons, the revenue is $13/ton * x while his costs are x^2 + 5x + 7.  His net total profits are therefore:\n\nP[0<x<=3] = (13x - x^2 - 5x - 7) dollars\nP[0<x<=3] = (-7 + 8x - x^2) dollars\n\nThe maximum of the profit function can be found by taking the derivative of P with respect to x setting it equal to zero, and solving for x:\n\n0 = dP/dx = 8-2x\n\nx = 4\n\nThis maximum is outside the range for which this profit function is valid, so the actual maximum profit for x<=3 tons occurs right at x=3 tons.\n\nFor x > 3 tons, we have that the profit is given by:\n\nP[x>3] = (13x - x^2 - 5x - 7 - 3(x-3)) dollars\nP[x>3] = (2 + 5x - x^2) dollars.\n\nNote that at x=3, both profit functions have the same value.\n\nLet's again find the maximum of this profit function:\n\n0 = dP/dx = 5 - 2x\n\nx = 2.5\n\nIn this case, the maximum of this function occurs at a value  of x below the minimum value for which this function is valid.  This implies that the maximum accessible value of this profit function occurs as x -> 3.\n\nThe manufacturer's profit is maximized when he makes 3 tons of the item.  \n\nThe easiest way to check that this is the correct answer is to plot the two profit functions over their valid ranges and see that the maximum does, indeed, occur at x=3.

The complete cost of an item taking into account all the costs to manufacture that item compared to the retail performance in sales profit for that same item

The two equations you are given are just two different ways to express the information.  The way this is set up assumes that the inventor will be able to sell every item that is produced, so both her production and sales are represented by "x".\n\nTo see that the two equations are really giving you the same information, notice that:\n\nSales - cost =profit.  Sales would be 4.00x.\n4.00x-(1.75x+7000)=2.25x-7000\n\nThe break even point is when your profit is zero, so you are neither losing nor gaining money.\nP(x)=0.  This point would be called the y-intercept if you were drawing a graph.\n\nAlso, if you look at your two equations, you can see that they are written in the form, y=mx+b, so you could graph the equation, and read the points off the graph, where:\n\n(a) x=2000\n(b) x=5000\n(c) the value of x when y=0.\n\nOr if you feel more comfortable with the algebra, just use your equations.\n\nThe best way is to find the answer by two different ways, and see if they agree.  For a quick check, you can just compare the answers and see if they make sense.\n\nJust by noticing that the slope is positive, you can already tell that the profit for 5000 units should be greater than for 2000 units.\n\nLittle ways to check your work are especially helpful during an exam.

Profit companies make all the money they can while non profits tend to concentrate on good works and just make the money they need to meet their goals.

Gross Domestic Product is now the preferred term to measure how well a country's economy is doing.  It includes all the goods and services produced by the companies of the nation, which includes divisions of companies located in foreign countries.  Gross National Product measures the value of the goods and services of all ecomonic activities within the country regardless who owns the firm.  The value is high or low depends on the previous year's activity, and compared to other nation's GNP/GDP

1. If the profit is divided equally, each gets 4800/3 = $1600\nIf the profit is divided proportionally, x gets 9/(9+7+4)*4800 = $2160\nTherefore, x gets 2160-1600 = $560 less.\n\n2. Oops, just reread this...\nx=pages small type, 21-x = pages large type\n\n48000 = 2400*x + 1800(21-x)\n48000 = 2400x + 37800 - 1800x\n10200 = 600x\n17 = x\n17 pages smaller type\n4 pages larger type

Not sure I understand your question.  Gross Domestic Product is the sum of all production in a country, usually expressed annually.  Business cycle is the pattern of expansion and recession.  It may be reflected in growth and contraction of the GDP.

One, his answer is true, but, in competition, you loose money on one part, but make up profit in another.  Say like for instance in Wal-Mart.  Every customer needs household chemicals, foods, etc.  Not every item, will you be losing profit.  You still have your higher profit items, that a good merchant will push to make up for in sales.  For instance, if you are losing profit in paper towels, than you will cross merchandise a paper towel holder, that is at a 50% profit. Also, if you bring in the customer, there is still that high profit department, that a customer will shop.  A good business knows how to equal out the margin. The only downside to competion, is within the businesses.  If a business can't hang with another, or know how to manage, their money, staff, and most importantely, how to take care of the customer, than they will loose.  A good merchant doesnt see a loss, but see's profit.
