## Step 1:Net profit can be calculated by subtracting all expenses from the Gross Profit. Here, the Gross Profit for the entity is given as .## Step 2:Next we identify the list of expenses which are: Motor vehicle expense, Rent expense, Salaries, Insurance, and Interest expense. Total them up to determine the overall expense for the period.### Calculation: \(£1,000 ( Motor Vehicle ) + £3,000 ( Rent ) + £4,000 ( Salaries ) + £2,000 ( Insurance ) + £1,000 ( Interest ) = £11,000 ( Total Expenses )\)## Step 3:We check if there are any tangible assets like land, buildings and equipment in our list. Disregard any value linked to these tangible assets from our total expenses. Here we have 'Faxtures and Fittings' which considered as tangible assets. But please note, results can be different based on the regulatory approach to fixture and fittings expenses which can sometimes be added as a one-time infrastructural cost.Now, we subtract the total expenses estimated in the step above from the Gross Profit given to calculate Net Profit for the period.### Calculation: \(£16,000 ( Gross Profit ) - £11,000 ( Total Expenses ) = £5,000 ( Net Profit)\)
