Revenue                         $1,285,000                                 $1,250,000

Professional salaries(all variable)            665,000                                     605,000

Profit                                                       $ 165,000                                 $ 185,000

*these are hours billed to clients. They are fewer than the number of hours worked because there is nononbillable time (e.g. slack periods, time in training sessions) and because some time worked for clients is not charged to them.
