NET REVENUE: A common term for profit, as the difference between total revenue and total cost. When used in the real world of business wheeling and dealing, this notion of net revenue general refers to accounting profit rather than economic profit. The "net" aspect of net revenue indicates that some (that something being cost) is deducted from total or "gross" revenue. Other common terms used in this same context are net income and net earnings.

PROFIT: As a generic term, this is the difference between revenue and cost. There are, however, three specific sorts of profit, each with a different meaning. Accounting profit is the difference between revenue and accounting expenses. Economic profit is the difference between revenue and the opportunity cost of production. Normal profit is the economic profit that could be earned by an entrepreneur in another business and is thus an opportunity cost deducted from revenue when calculating economic profit.

These five alternatives--perfectly elastic, relatively elastic, unit elastic, relatively inelastic, and perfectly inelastic--are often illustrated by different supply curves. The price elasticity of demand is also reflected by five comparable alternatives.
