Profit
The financial gain a business earns after subtracting all costs, including wages, materials, and overhead, from total revenue.
Profit incentivizes entrepreneurs to invest and innovate. It measures business success and allows reinvestment for growth, expansion, or dividends to shareholders.
Profit is the scoreboard of business — showing who is winning after all costs are accounted for.
Real world: A bakery earns $200,000 in sales and spends $150,000 on ingredients, rent, and wages, making a $50,000 profit.
💡 Profit is the reward for running a successful business efficiently and effectively.
