Net profit = Gross Profit - Expenditure

Using the following information, draw up a statement like on the example before:

A business has sales of £25,000 which costs £12,500.

It had to pay out rent of £1000, insurance at £500 and a salesman’s wages at £1000.

Activity 5 L/O: Calculate Net Profit from a formula

1. Cost of sales = £2525 + £3500

2. Gross Profit = £19250 - £6025 = £13225

3. Total Expenditure = £550 + £400 + £880 = £1830

4. Net profit = £13225 - £1830 = £11395
