To calculate profit, we need to subtract total expenses from total revenues. From the trial balance, we can see that the total revenues (credit side) are $89,600 and the total expenses (debit side) are $78,600.

Total Revenues - Total Expenses
$89,600 - $78,600
= $11,000

Therefore, the profit for the period is $11,000. Option B is the correct choice.
