COST, REVENUE AND PROFIT DEFINITION
TEAM SHAS PRODUCTION
The income generated from sale of goods or services, or
any other use of capital or assets, associated with the
main operations of an organization before any costs or
expenses are deducted. Revenue is shown usually as the
top item in an income (profit and loss) statement from
which all charges, costs, and expenses are subtracted to
arrive at net income. Also called sales, or (in the UK)
turnover.
REVENUE: -
An amount that has to be paid or given up in order to get
something
In business, cost is usually a monetary valuation of (1) effort,
(2) material, (3) resources, (4) time and utilities consumed, (5)
risks incurred, and (6) opportunity forgone in production and
delivery of a good or service. All expenses are costs, but not
all costs (such as those incurred in acquisition of an income-
generating asset) are expenses.
COST: -
The surplus remaining after total costs are deducted from total
revenue and the basis on which tax is computed and dividend
is paid. It is the best known measure of success in an
enterprise.
Profit is reflected in reduction in liabilities, increase in assets,
and/or increase in owners' equity. It furnishes resources for
investing in future operations, and its absence may result in
the extinction of a company. As an indicator of comparative
performance, however, it is less valuable than return on
investment (ROI). Also called earnings, gain, or income
