Profit in older writings also Lucrum, Gewinnst, Emolumente(e) und Fromme(n) (profit; gain)

A term that is also used very frequently in relation to the financial market, but which is not clearly defined in itself. – In business management terms, profit is generally understood to mean the surplus of income over expenses within a period. What exactly is to be regarded as revenue and expense must be defined in detail. – The difference between the revenue and the costs of a period according to the cost accounting. Here, too, it is primarily a matter of which costs and in what way – for example: Type of depreciation, taxes – these are included in the calculation. – The amount of money received from an operation – usually carried out in the short term – minus the capital invested in it. – The amount received from the sale of an asset, such as a security or land, less its book value (the amount received from the sale of an asset, computed by subtracting its book value). – See starvation, base profit, Beschores, book profit, contribution margin, efficiency, return on equity, own funds, success, result, earnings, cumulative, financial archeology, financial vulture, financial markup, profit expectation, profit measurement, trading profit, leverage, hollow profit, in the money, imparity principle, International Financial Reporting Standards, spot speculator, Price differential transactions, Price-earnings ratio, Wet profit, Zero distribution, Paper profit, Planned profit, Plus transaction, Position, Synthetic, Real cash effect, Rebbes, Yield, Yield, Implied, Run rate, Debtor profit, Speculation tax, Swap carousel, Loss, Confidence shock, Tenfold, Advantage, Numbers, Black, Interest allocation function, Lemon trade. – Cf.
