Profit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Net profit after tax is after the deduction of either corporate tax (for a company) or income tax (for an individual). The underlying concept was first introduced by Schmalenbach, but the commercial application of the concept of adjusted economic profit was by Stern Stewart and Co. which has trade-marked their adjusted economic profit as EVA or Economic Value Added. Under capitalism, profit is a positive return made on an investment by an individual or by business operations. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Profit   (867 words)

Profit (real estate) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Like an easement, profits can be created expressly by an agreement between the property owner and the owner of the profit, or by prescription, where the owner of the profit has made "open and notorious" use of the land for a continuous and uninterrupted statutory period. Therefore, profits by prescription will virtually always be profits in gross. A profit, in the law of real estate, is a nonpossessory interest in land similar to the better-known easement, which gives the holder the right to take natural resources such as petroleum, minerals, timber, and wild game from the land of another. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Profit_(real_estate)   (426 words)

Profit and Capitalism - Isn't the profit motive (the pursuit of profit) evil? Your profit is the symbol and reward for the value of your creation, as judged by the mind's of others who have freely-given given their wealth to you in exchange for it. Profit is not made by conning others, but by creating something of value that did not exist before. Stealing wealth from others, through fraud or force, is not profit, but theft (an initiation of force). www.capitalism.org /faq/profit.htm   (298 words)

Profit Profit does exist in the real world, and there are several explanations that economists have for it. Others see profit as an indication that forces of competition may not be strong, and that in some industries barriers to entry exist. The assumption that firms attempt to maximize profits is inconsistent with the underlying methodology of microeconomics, which assumes that all decision-makers are individuals. www.ingrimayne.com /econ/MakeProfit/Profit.html   (1443 words)

Fool.com: "South Park's" Investing Lesson [Fool on the Hill] November 8, 2001 For example, a company might have terrific profit margins, but if it's not able to sell many of its wares, then it's in trouble (or at least, you are, if you've invested in it). A company that sports lower profit margins but turns over its inventory rapidly may be the better investment. Once I stopped and thought about it, I realized that the gnomes' underpants business is a lot like many other businesses in America -- ones in which you and I might be invested. www.fool.com /news/foth/2001/foth011108.htm   (1007 words)
