4. What is the difference between gross profit and net
profit?

Answer Posted / hafeez

Here is how you reach net profit on a P&L (Profit & Loss)
account:

1.Sales Revenue = Price (of product) X Quantity Sold
2.Gross profit = sales revenue – cost of sales and other
direct costs
3.Operating profit (EBIT, earnings before interest and
taxes) = Gross profit – overheads and other indirect costs
4.Pretax Profit (EBT, earnings before taxes) = operating
profit – one off items and redundancy payments, staff
restructuring – interest payable
5.Net profit= Pre-tax profit – tax
6.Retained earnings = Profit after tax – Dividends
