How do you find your revenue and profit doing equations?

1 answer:

5 0

Profit is different from revenue since you need to invest your money (called 'cost') to manufacture goods or services. So, a simple equation for 'revenue':

Profit = Revenue - Cost.

Lets say you are the basketball manufacturer who sells one ball for 30 dollars. And if you sell 100 balls, your revenue will be 3,000 dollars. However, to make 100 balls, it may be required to pay about 1,000 dollars for labors, rentals, machines, leathers, distributions, etc. So, your profit will be 2,000 dollars (3,000 revenue - 1,000 cost).

grigory [225]

Answer:

That statement is true.

Explanation:

Basically, You put your money in saving if you intended to use that money for future consumption. You put your money in investment if you intended to make financial gain out of it.

For example,

Let's say that you want to buy a laptop that cost $700. You only able to spend $350 per month since you have to consider other more important payment such as rent or food. So you set aside $350 for two month and purchase the laptop at the end of the second month. This is an example of saving.

In another case let's say that you put that $350 in Bonds rather than purchasing laptop. You Let that bond mature and take a 3% interest as profit. Two month later, the value of your money is increased. This is an example of an investment.

Can we treat all small businesses the same? Why or Why not?

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Depends on what you define as small business, if you mean a mom and pop pharmaceutical store across the road that keeps the money within the family and has every member of the family working in the shop to create an infinite amount of revenue for themselves until they hit a profit, then sure. They contribute tax dollars to the community through supplying jobs and creating cheaper cost for locals, which gives incentive to buy more in bulk and thus creating more tax dollars. Unless you are talking about the man in the apartment building who makes home grade meals and sells them cheap to his community, then no. While he is contributing tax dollars all those dollars aren't going back into the community until he buys something with that money, and the people who spent that money just got a tax free meal that 't go into the community didn't.

Time taken will be 31.35 days

We have given account receivable = $391648

Number of days in an year = 365 days

We have to find the time taken on average for credit customers to pay off their accounts during the past year

Time taken is given by $=\frac{365\times account\ receivable}{credit\ sales}=\frac{365\times3 91648}{5338411}=31.35days$
