Profit, comes from the Latin lucrum, is the profit or benefit that is obtained from something. Commercial businesses are intended to profit, that is, some economic benefit.
When dividends are given through total income and these exceed the total costs of production and distribution. It assumes, in other words, that the company receives more money than it spends. Otherwise, instead of not making a profit, the company would have losses.
The profit motive is the intention of a person to increase their capital through a legal act. This intention is usually regulated through the signing of a contract.
The profit loss represents what the company has failed to win against the damaging event, such as: damage of any machinery.
The compensation obtained for the occurrence of some unfortunate event will be granted as long as the loss of profit and its direct relationship with the damage can be proven. On the other hand, it is necessary that it be possible to determine economically what has not been received.
