here’s an example of a profit and loss financial statement for a bakery business:

	Year 1	Year 2	Year 3
Revenue	$200,000	$300,000	$400,000
Cost of goods sold	$70,000	$100,000	$130,000
Gross profit	$130,000	$200,000	$270,000
Operating expenses	$90,000	$110,000	$120,000
Net profit before tax	$40,000	$90,000	$150,000
Tax	$12,000	$27,000	$45,000
Net profit	$28,000	$63,000	$105,000

In this example, the bakery business generates revenue of $200,000 in the first year, with a cost of goods sold of $70,000, resulting in a gross profit of $130,000. After deducting operating expenses of $90,000, the net profit before tax for the year is $40,000. The business pays taxes of $12,000, resulting in a net profit of $28,000.

In the second and third years, the bakery’s revenue and profits increase due to growth in sales and improved efficiency in operations. However, the business also faces increased operating expenses and taxes as it grows. Overall, the business is profitable and generates a strong return on investment over the three-year period.
