 What I Need to Know

As we all know that profit is a financial gain from a transaction or from a period of
investment or business activity, usually calculated as income in excess of costs or as the final
value of an asset in excess of its initial value.

It is a total revenue minus total expenses, profit is the amount of money a business
"makes" during a given accounting period. The more profit you make, the better, as profit can
be re-invested into the business or retained by the business owners. Being able to accurately
determine your business's profit is an essential part of being able to judge its financial health.
It can also help you decide how to price your goods and services, how to pay your employees,
and more.

To make your business gain more profit, begin by adding up all of the money your
business has made in a set period of time (either, quarterly, yearly, monthly, etc. Other sources,
like products sold, services rendered, membership payments, or, in the case of government
agencies, taxes, fees, the sales of resource rights, and so on.

Note that you will need to subtract any amount of cash refunded to customers for
returns or disputes in order to find an accurate figure for your total income.

It's easier to understand the process of calculating a business's profit by following along
with an example.

Let's say that we own a small publishing business. In the last month, we sold P20,000
worth of books to retailers in the area. However, we also sold the rights to one of our
intellectual properties for P7,000 and received P3,000 from book retailers for official
promotional materials. If these represent all of our revenue sources, we can say that our total
income is P20,000 + P7,000 + P3,000 = P30,000.

 LESSON Computation of Gross
1
Profit
What’s In

Let’s review of what is revenue of the business. This is an important tool and materials
needed in the operation of the business. It is said that revenue is the result when sales exceed
the cost to produce or manufacture goods/merchandise as well as costs incurred in selling.

Forecast is advance information that could help us prepare and ready for any incoming
event. Forecasting is the tool used in planning that aims to support management or a business
owner in its desire to adjust and cope up with uncertainties of the future. If anyone of us can
predict that we can be rich so it means all of us will be rich. This fantasy is played out every
day in boardrooms across the globe with the practice of business forecasting.

It is important to have a good organization in the business to easily grow and expand
in the future.

What’s New

Activity 1
Read and understand the given problem.

Rodrigo is engaged in a buy-and sell business of perfumes. He bought 10 boxes of

perfumes. Each box costs 12,000.00 and contains a dozen of perfume bottles. He is planning to
sell one perfume bottle at P1,500. What is his expected profit on the 10 boxes of perfumes?
5
 The ultimate goal of any business whether a retail or wholesale is to earn a profit.
Getting the difference between the amount of money earned from the selling 10 boxes
containing a dozen of perfume bottles and the cost of those 10 boxes gives the profit.

In the example that I gave, answer the following questions:

1. How much does Rodrigo earn profit?

2. Is it good to engage in a business? Yes, or no?
3. What do you think of Rodrigo’s business? Is it good for a beginner?

What Is It

Compute the Gross Profit

The profitability ratios are a group of financial statement that primarily determine the
profitability of the business operation.

The gross profit rate on a product is computed as:

Net Sales xxxxxxx
Less: Cost of sales xxxxxxx
Gross profit xxxxxxx

By using the formula, the gross of XYZ Trading in the year 2017

Net Sales P 734, 000.00

Less: Cost of Sales 577, 000.00
Gross Profit 157, 000.00
Profit is the gross income. The amount of gross profit provides information to the
entrepreneur about revenue earned from sales.

The term cost refers to the purchase price of the product including of the product

6
including the total outlay required in producing it.

The gross profit margin is computed as follows:

gross profit
gross profit rate =
net sales

The gross profit rate measures the percentage of gross profit to sales, indicating the profit
that the business realizes from the sale of the product.

The gross profit rate of XYZ Trading for the year computed as follows:

The gross profit rate may signal to the entrepreneur that the amount of margin on sales
is 21.39%. This rate will be used to determine whether the amount of gross profit can cover
the operating of the business. Since the gross profit rate of XYZ Trading is 21.39%, the cost
ratio to sales will be 78.61%. This information will help the entrepreneur in assessing whether
the cost is too high or too low. Any product with a very high cost will not become competitive
in the market.

The gross profit rate will also help the entrepreneur set the selling price.

Operating Profit Margin Rate

The operating the profit margin is the excess of gross profit from operating expenses.
Gross profit xxxxx
Less: Operating Expenses xxxxx
Operating profit margin xxxxx

The operating profit margin is the second level of revenue in the income statement. At
7
this stage, not only the cost of buying or making the product that has been deducted is included
but also the operating expenses. These are expenses incurred during a particular period only,
and are not expected to provide benefits to any future period. The operating expenses are also
period costs.

In case there are no financing charges like interest, expenses, and income tax, the
amount of the operating profit margin is equal to the net income.

Gross profit P 157,000.00

Less: Operating expenses 90,000.00

Operating profit margin P 67,000.00

This information that the business realized an income of P 67,000.00 during the year
after deducting the cost and operating expenses from the sales made.

The operating profit margin of the business measures the percentage of profit available
after deducting the cost of sales & operating expenses of the business. A higher operating profit
margin is favorable to the business.

Net Profit Margin Rate

Operating profit margin xxxxxxx

Add: Interest Income xxxxxxx
Total
Less: Interest Expense xxxxxx
Income Tax xxxxxx xxxxxx
Net Profit margin xxxxxx

8
 The Income statement.is the net profit margin & the third level in the revenue. The
business is only given consideration like interest expense and income tax.

Operating profit margin P67,000.00

Less: Income tax 20,000.00
Net profit margin P46,900.00

The income statement of XYZ Trading does not reflect any data on interest expense.
Only income tax has been deducted from the operating profit margin.

XYZ Trading appears to have earned 6.39% of its total sales of P734,000 during the year.
This profits rate must be compared with those of other similar businesses within the industry.

Analyze the Liquidity Status of the Business

Liquidity Ratios

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

Quick ratio = (Current assets – Inventories) / Current liabilities
= (Cash and equivalents + Marketable securities + Accounts
receivable)
/ Current liabilities

The quick ratio measures its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets and
therefore excludes inventories from its current assets.

Financial statements are important in a company management as a means of

9
communicating past successes as well as future expectations. The financial statement records all
the operating results such as sales, expenses and profits or losses.

Return of Investment (ROI)

The Return of investment (ROI) measures the amount of net income per peso invested
to the business.

The average total assets are by dividing the sum of the total assets at the beginning and
end of the period.

As a future entrepreneur, one should always remember that nothing is permanent in the
field of entrepreneurship. What is applicable to one entrepreneur may not be applicable to
another. Certain things may happen to one entrepreneur but may not happen to another.

Entrepreneurship should be practiced not as a science but as an art. Creativity should

always be applied to entrepreneur by regularly evaluating the market and the environment and
responding to the changes in them.

The owner of an ordinary small business has the freedom to manage and operate.
Ideally, he/she prefers business activities which are done easily. However, the entrepreneur
has to perform the entrepreneurial activities correctly regardless of whether they are
undertaken easily or not. The important in entrepreneurship is that the business activities are
performed correctly.

Answer the given problem.
1. Annie bought one dozen smartphones for P200,000.00 with a discount of 5%.
She sold half dozen at a price of P18,000.00 per unit. However, a new model of
smartphone became available in the market, so she sold the remaining half
dozen @ P12,000.00 each unit. What was her profit or loss?

11
 Compute the following requirements:

a. Gross profit rate

b. Operating profit margin rate

c. Net profit margin rate

d. Return on Investment

What I Have Learned

The profitability and ratios are a group financial statement ratios that primarily
determine the profitability of the business operation. They provide information on the
efficiency of resource utilization.
The gross profit represents the difference between net sales and cost of sales of the
entrepreneurial venture during a given period. It is computed as follows:

12
 Net Sales xxxxxx
Less: Cost of Sales xxxxxx
Gross Profit xxxxxx

By using the formula, the gross profit of XYZ Co., in the year 2017 is computed as
follows:

Net Sales P 734,000.00

Less: Cost of Sales 577,000.00

Gross profit P 157,000.00

Profit is determined by:

the money you get from sales

the cost of stock – if you're selling a product
all the expenses you incurred
Income earned by the business are sales & gross profit.

Commissions, discounts, fixed expense are business expenses.

How to Increase your Sales

❖ Improve profit by looking at the money you earn from sales, and increase:
o The number of customers
o The volume of goods or services existing customers to buy
o The sales price

do it by your own. Solve and compute the following:

1. A watch store owner decided to offer 20% discount for a particular brand of watch
that sells at P35,000.00. By doing so, his average sales increased from 5 watches to
12 watches a day. If he bought one watch at a price of P22,000.00 from the supplier,
by how much was his daily profit increased or decreased by offering such discount
on the watch?

2. Michelle went to Baguio and bought 20 jars of strawberry jam for P3,500.00 with 1

What’s New
Activity 1
Solution:

Given of 10 boxes of perfumes contain a dozen of bottles 120 bottles

bought by Rodrigo

Cost of each box = P12,000.00

Selling Price of each perfume =P1,500.00

To solve the problem, we compute first the cost of 10 X 12=120 bottles

Since each box costs P12,000.00 & Rodrigo bought 10 boxes, we get
Cost = P12,000.00(10) = P120,000.00

Rodrigo can expect that the net sales he will get upon selling 10 boxes
17
 consisting of 120 bottles

Net Sales = 1,500 (120) = P180, 000.00

Thus, has
Profit = Net Sales – Costs
= 180,000.00 - 120,000.00
= P60,000.00
