Profit is directly impacted by revenue, which represents the total earnings of a company at any given time, while profit is the amount earned after all expenses are paid. Without knowing the revenue, it is impossible to calculate the profit, as even a revenue of $0 is needed to determine the amount of money lost after expenses. While higher revenue can lead to increased profit, it is not a direct correlation, as higher revenue often comes with increased expenses. However, higher revenue does provide the opportunity to gain more profit.
