What is Profit?

Lesson Objective

To be able to define the cost of sales.

To be able to define and calculate gross profit from a formula.

Activity 1

£3 + £2 = £5

(£3 x 15) + (£2 x 15) = £45 + £30 = £75

Activity 2

£1 + £2 + £1.50 + £5.50 + £5 = £15

(£1 x 5) + (£2 x 5) + (£1.50 x 5) + (£5.50 x 5) + (£5 x 5) = £5 + £10 + £7.50 + £27.50 + £25 = £75

Gross Profit

Revenue – Cost of Sales = Gross Profit

The money made from selling a product (the revenue), AFTER the cost of producing the product (the cost of sales) has been deducted.

E.g. It costs me £10 to make a table and I sell it for £16. Therefore, my Gross Profit is £6.

Activity 3

Revenue = £200

Cost of Sales = £100

Gross profit = £200 - £100 = £100

Activity 4

10 x £25 = £250 = revenue10 x £15 = £150 = cost of sales£250 - £150 = £100 = gross profit

17 x £25 = £425 = revenue17 x £15 = £255 = cost of sales£425 - £255 = £170 = gross profit

1. (£2 x 2) + £0.50 + £0.50 + £4 = £9

2. £9 x 15 = £135 = cost of sales
