Cash sales are more profitable. Cash is credited on the same day it's paid into the bank - earning interest from the moment it's deposited. Credit sales need to be cleared through the banks system which can take three working days from the day afterthe transaction occurred.
Sales create revenue and positive cash flow for a company. All companies must eventually have sales to be profitable. Sales are the driving force of revenue for an entity that has obligatory finances to be taken care of. More sales means(Well Profitable sales) sales that are over the monetary cost of the product or service are needed to pay overhead or operating costs. Please ask more intelligent questions!!

That's exactly what they are doing and getting away with it.
Variable costs directly impact the breakeven sales level since they are part of the total cost structure that needs to be covered. If variable costs increase, the total costs rise, leading to a higher breakeven point, meaning more sales are required to cover these costs. Conversely, a decrease in variable costs lowers the total costs and reduces the breakeven sales required. Therefore, fluctuations in variable costs can significantly alter the sales volume needed to achieve breakeven.
A Sales Maximisation objective aims at increasing the cash value turnover/Sales Income/Revenue. Costs and expenses are not taken into account. Profit maximisation seeks to increase the bottom-line profit, regardless of sales or other considerations. Profit = sales less costs. If sales reduce, but if costs reduce by a greater amount, profit will increase. If sales are less in such a scenario, the work required to achieve sales may be less, so more profit is being made with less effort, which would be a good indicator of the organisation's efficiency and ability to trade successfully despite business challenges. Profits can also be increased by maintaining at costs at their present level, and increasing the selling price. Assuming that the volume of sales does not decrease, bottom-line profits will increase. Sales maximisation can be an valid objective if the sole aim is to increase market share or other related reasons. However, Sales Maximisation accompanied by ever-decreasing profits cannot be sustained indefinitely.
Profit mean that when a company sales turnover more so extra income that we get is profit. Cash flow means inflow & outflow of cash when there is any expenses or income earned.
The key determinants of operating leverage include the proportion of fixed versus variable costs in a company’s cost structure, the sales volume, and the sales price. A higher proportion of fixed costs relative to variable costs increases operating leverage, which amplifies the impact of sales fluctuations on profits. Additionally, the degree to which sales volume changes can affect operating leverage; as sales rise, the fixed costs are spread over more units, enhancing profitability. Conversely, a decline in sales can significantly reduce profits due to the fixed costs remaining constant.
Yes, because the more something costs, the greater the sales tax.
The Baumol model of cash management provides a framework for firms to optimize their cash holdings by balancing the trade-off between transaction costs and opportunity costs of holding cash. It suggests that companies should maintain a target cash balance that minimizes these costs, leading to more efficient cash management and improved liquidity. By determining the optimal amount of cash to hold and the frequency of cash replenishment, firms can enhance their financial performance and reduce the risks associated with cash shortfalls. Overall, the model aids in strategic financial planning and resource allocation.
Operating leverage decreases as a company increases sales and moves away from the break-even point because fixed costs become a smaller proportion of total costs. As sales rise, variable costs increase, allowing the company to cover its fixed costs more easily. This shift reduces the impact of fixed costs on profit margins, leading to lower operating leverage. Consequently, while profits increase with higher sales, the rate of increase diminishes, indicating a reduced sensitivity to sales fluctuations.
Tennessee's state sales tax is 7.0%. More sales tax can be added in certain cities and counties.
The cash operating cycle is a function of how quickly you pay your accounts payable, how quickly you sell your inventory, and how quickly you collect your sales (accounts receivable):Cash operating cycle = Average days' inventory + Average days' accounts receivable - Average days' accounts payable.To reduce the cash operating cycle:sell inventory more quickly,collect sales/accounts receivable more quickly orpay accounts payable more slowly.
