Ummmm, no.
Unless 6) their time, and the storage place to keep the records for 20 years is worth =nothing= and given to them for free.
7) same as 6, only now we add the space where the class takes place ... which they apparently got for free and keep open for free. Wow, what lucky guys!
8) oh ya, those don't cost nuthin to put on, or take any owners/employees time
9) just sprung up out of the earth and the insurance/staff is paid for by Nationwide.
10) that old guy back there fixin them guns we bought at a yard sale years ago, he's a slave so we don't have to pay him... we found all his tools in a dumpster, and of course the space he works in is free.
First, your snark is neither high road nor appreciated.
Now, do you understand the difference between gross profit and net profit?
GP: The amount you make, less what you paid up front. Buy at $50, sell at $100, your GP is $50. Sometimes you would factor in rent fees or wages, but only if dealing with subcontractors or space/equipment that was rented specifically for the endeavor. For instance, you would consider the rental fees in GP if you had to pay them before using the space/equipment, and they are not a recurring charge regardless of use. So rent for the storefront is NOT part of GP, but rent paid up front to a facility to conduct a special class or for a booth at a gun show IS figured in GP. Employee wages are NOT calculated in GP, but fees paid to a subcontractor providing a service ARE deducted for GP.
NP: The amount you profit after all expenses are paid. Everything you mention factors into net profit (or operating profit, depending on whether you look at it before or after taxation and interest payments). Employee wages, rent, utilities, taxes, etc are variables for calculating OP or NP
ETA:
If you don't believe me, take it from elsewhere:
