What is "Gross Profit (Accrual)"?
Gross Profit (Accrual) is a financial metric that measures the profitability of a business by deducting the cost of goods sold from the revenue generated. This metric is calculated on an accrual basis, which means it takes into account all sales and expenses, regardless of when they were actually paid for. It reflects the profitability of a business in a given period, after accounting for the direct costs incurred in delivering products or services. Monitoring this metric over time can indicate trends in a business's profitability and help inform strategic decisions.
Example: A business owner wants to see the profit earned from selling a particular product after deducting the cost of goods sold, including any expenses incurred to make the sale. The Gross Profit (Accrual) metric helps calculate this.
