Can someone give examples of net profit and gross profit?

Definition

Gross profit is the excess of the proceeds of goods and services rendered during a period over their cost, before taking into account administration, selling, distribution, and financial expenses.

Gross profit and net profit are gross profit estimates of the profitability of a company.

When the result of this computation is negative it is referred to as gross loss

Formula :

Total Revenues – Cost Of Goods Sold

Net profit is defined as the excess of revenues over expenses during a particular period.
Net profit is to show the performance of the company.

When the result of this computation is negative it is called a net loss.

Net profit may be shown before or after tax.

Formula :

Total Revenues – Expenses
Or
Total Revenues – Total Cost ( Implicit And Explicit Cost )

Examples

Now let me explain to you by taking an example which is as follows :

In a business organization there were the following data given as purchases made Rs 73000, inventory, in the beginning, was Rs 10000, direct expenses made were Rs 7000, closing inventory which was Rs 5000, revenue from operation during the period was Rs 100000.
Then,

COST OF GOODS SOLD = Purchases + Opening Inventory + Direct Expenses – Closing Inventory.

= Rs ( 73000 + 10000+ 7000- 5000)
= Rs 85000

GROSS PROFIT = REVENUE – COST OF GOODS SOLD

= Rs ( 100000 – 85000 )
= Rs 15000

Now from the above question keeping the gross profit same if the indirect expenses of the organization are Rs 2000 and the other income is Rs 1000.
Then,

NET PROFIT = GROSS PROFIT – INDIRECT EXPENSES + OTHER INCOMES

= Rs ( 15000 – 2000 + 1000)
= Rs 14000

Treatment

Treatment of gross profit and net profit is given as follows :

Gross profit

• Gross profit appears on the credit side of the trading account.
• Gross profit is located in the upper portion beneath revenue and cost of goods sold.

Net profit

• Net profit appears on the credit side of the profit and loss account.
• It is treated directly in the balance sheet by adding or subtracting from the capital.
