Sales Revenue = Price (of product) X Quantity Sold
Gross profit = sales revenue – cost of sales and other direct costs
Operating profit (EBIT, earnings before interest and taxes) = Gross profit – overheads and other indirect costs

Net profit= Pre-tax profit – tax
Retained earnings = Profit after tax – Dividends
