Investment Formula

Net Profit = Revenue - Cost of goods sold - Overhead - Interest Payable = Gross Profit - Overheads - Interest Payable

Investment Formula Example

For this financial period, Corporation A has total $100,000 revenue with $60,000 of COGS,  $20,000 of Overheads,  and $10,000 of Interest Payable.

Net Profit = Revenue - Cost of goods sold - Overhead - Interest Payable = Gross Profit - Overheads - Interest Payable = 100,000 -  60,000 - 20,000 - 10,000 = $10,000

The net profit or net income for Corporation A is $10,000 for this financial period.

For the next financial period, the Overheads for Corporation A had increased to $40,000.

Net Profit = Revenue - Cost of goods sold - Overhead - Interest Payable = Gross Profit - Overheads - Interest Payable = 100,000 -  60,000 - 40,000 - 10,000 = - $10,000

In this case, Corporation A is having net loss of $10,000 for this financial period.
