Net profit is often referred to as ‘the bottom line’ in
business. This is for two reasons. Firstly on a simple
presentation of a profit and loss account, it is the actual
bottom line.
 
 
 
 
 
Secondly, the net profit figure tells us the actual profits of
the business after all costs have been paid.
 
The gross profit for Frying Tonite has already been calculated
in the trading account.
 
Now we have to allow for expenses. Expenses are the indirect
costs that the business incurs. These expenses are not direct
costs of production.
 
Examples of expenses include rent, interest payments and
electricity. The total expenses figure is placed in the second
column, beneath the figure for gross profit.
 
 
 
 
 
 
To find Frying Tonite’s net profit we will have to total these
expenses and take them away from the gross profit.
 
To calculate net profit, we simply take the figure for total
expenses away from the gross profit figure.
 
Net profit = Gross profit – total expenses
 
 
For Frying Tonite, gross profit is £68 700, expenses are £38
590. So:
 
  £68 700 – £38 510 = £30 110 net profit
 
Net profit is an indicator of how efficient the business is
overall, this is because all the business’s revenues and
expenses are included in the calculation.
 
 
 
 
 
Like the figure for gross profit, net profit on its own does not
help us judge the level of efficiency. A large business is likely to
have a much higher net profit figure than a small business
because it manages its expenses better.
