PROFIT = TR-TC
Total Revenue (TR): This is the total income a firm receives.
Total cost: refers to the total expense incurred in reaching a particular level of output; if such total cost is divided by the quantity produced, average or unit cost is obtained.
MARGINAL REVENUE:IS THE CHANGE IN REVENUE WHICH COMES FROM SELLING AN ADDITIONAL UNIT OF OUTPUT.
MARGINAL COST:IS THE CHANGE IN COST WHICH COMES FROM PRODUCING AN ADDITIONAL UNIT OF OUTPUT.

Eliminating waste and avoiding(lean production)
Simplifying processes and procedures
Outsourcing non-core activities(e.g. transaction processing, payroll, call handling)
Negotiating better pricing with suppliers
Pruning product ranges and costumer accounts to eliminate unprofitable business
Using the most effective methods of training and recruitment
Introducing flexible working practices
Aggressive control of overheads(e.g. banning first/business class travel)

Business left with insufficient capacity to
handle unexpected or short-term increases in
demand
Cost reductions by one department may
surprise and /or annoy other functions if
they are not properly communicated and
coordinated

A profit center is separately-identifiable
