Which term is the financial gain after all expenses are paid?

• A. Public Goods
• B. Profit
• C. Publicity
• D. Product

Answer: (B)

Profit is the financial gain a business keeps after subtracting all expenses from its revenues. It represents net income—the money left over after costs such as production, salaries, operating expenses, taxes, and interest have been paid. This is the term described in the question because it captures the amount earned beyond what was spent. By comparison, revenue is the total income before deductions, while the other terms refer to unrelated ideas like shared resources (public goods), media attention (publicity), or a good or service offered (product).
