Profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue refers to the total receipts by a business for the sale of it's output.

Cost refers to the expenditure incurred for manufacturing products or creating a service.

The difference between the above two i.e revenue and costs, is termed as profit.

Economic profit on the other hand also considers implicit costs i.e opportunity costs, while calculating profits.
