I can't get your logic for Profit exactly. But, to calculate total cost, you can create a measure like: 

 

Total Cost = SUM(ValueEntry[Cost])

For the total cost of entry type sale, you can write a measure like: 

 

Total Cost = CALCULATE(SUM(ValueEntry[Cost]),FILTER(ALL(ValueEntry),ValueEntry[entry type]="Sales"))
