Productivity measurement is complicated by
CaHeK987 [17]
Productivity measurement is complicated by the fact the precise units of measure are often unavailable. When you are managing productivity it can vary based on each task or the person completing the tasks. Because of this, it makes it complicated for management to measure productivity as there could be no units or no comparable units to measure. Productivity is better reflected on the outcome of what they do complete versus what they do not.

Retained Earnings = Net Income − Dividends

and

Net Income = Income − Expenses

The expanded accounting equation is obtain if all substitutions are made:

Asset = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Income – Expenses − Dividends

In the Global Cleaning Service`s case:

Assets are increased either because the service is collected or is an account receivable. As the service provided is a revenue (income) is part of the Owner's Equity that also increase. Both, Asset and Owner's Equity, increase in 180.
