Understand the definition of profit in microeconomics: Profit is the financial gain a firm makes after subtracting all costs from its earnings.
Recall the formula for profit: \(\text{Profit} = \text{Total Revenue} - \text{Total Cost}\).
Identify what total revenue means: It is the total amount of money a firm receives from selling its goods or services, calculated as price times quantity sold.
Identify what total cost means: It is the total expense incurred in producing goods or services, including fixed and variable costs.
Conclude that profit equals total revenue minus total cost, which matches the correct answer: revenue; cost.
