Identify and total all operating expenses for the period. Expenses include advertising, marketing, sales representative salaries, sales commissions, professional fees, office supplies etc. Subtract the total operating expenses from gross profit to calculate net loss.
The profit and loss account is the account that can be used to calculate the net loss.
The Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit/Revenue*100 regardless of weather the Gross Profit is positive or negative (a loss). Therefor, it is acceptable to have a negative Gross Profit Margin.
To calculate the net change in net retained earnings, start with the retained earnings balance from the previous period. Then, add the net income (or subtract the net loss) for the current period and subtract any dividends paid to shareholders. The formula can be summarized as: Net Change in Retained Earnings = Previous Period Retained Earnings + Net Income (or - Net Loss) - Dividends. This gives you the updated retained earnings balance for the current period.
Total operating income less total operating expense = net operating income (or loss if the expenses were higher)
To calculate retained earnings at the end of the year, start with the retained earnings balance from the previous year. Add the net income or subtract the net loss for the current year, and then subtract any dividends paid to shareholders. The formula can be summarized as: Ending Retained Earnings = Beginning Retained Earnings + Net Income (or Net Loss) - Dividends.
