Introduction The concept of profit refers to the financial benefit an organization realizes when the revenue acquired from various business activities is greater than costs, expenses, and taxes combined for sustaining the activity. Profit is often used when it is needed to describe the business activity as it denotes the reward that business owners gain for investing in their further operations and processes. It has also been differentiated into such types as gross profit, operating profit, and net profit (Leon 2016). Gross profit refers to the first level of profitability and denotes the funds that result from extracting the cost of goods sold from sales. Operating profit represents the second level of profitability and is calculated through deducting operating expenses from gross profit. Therefore, gross profit considers profitability from the perspective of direct expenses while operating profit looks at profitability after expenses that went towards the operation. These range from administrative to general costs and can depend on the scope and the size of a company. Net profit is the last level of profitability and denotes the income that has been left after all expenses an organization had to pay out, including interests and taxes. Net profit is determined through deducing taxes and interests from the operating profit. It is the most accurate representation of how much money a company is making because it considers all possible expenses needed to operate a business successfully. Sources of Profit For decades, profit has been considered the main driving force behind capitalism. This is so because if the profit cannot be made, goods cannot be produced regardless of how many consumers value it subjectively. While the question of where does profit come from may seem easy to answer, it considers many details. In order to make money from the business, it should be transformed into capital, which refers to human resources, equipment, workplaces, and other capital goods. However, by itself, capital cannot produce anything because it can only become productive with the help of the labor force when workers use the capital that was assigned to producing a profit. Within the capitalist framework, workers do not only create sufficient value for an organization, such as produced commodities for maintaining existing capital but also deliver a surplus. It is usually expressed through having a surplus of goods, which means that there is an excess of commodities in comparison to the number the wage of a worker can buy back. Thus, the price of all goods produced by a company is greater than the monetary value represented by the wages of workers as well as available raw materials and overheads such as the wear and tear on equipment. It should be noted that pro-capitalist economics do not agree with the theory of arising surplus. However, in order for profit to be generated within capitalism, it is required to achieve two things. The first thing is the group of employees to work the available capital. The second thing is the production of value that is greater compared to the value they are paid in wages. Therefore, profit plays an important role in capitali
