For each business entity, profit generation is a very important process. Indeed, the rational use of revenue depends on the amount of income received by the owner of the company from all types of activities.
Profit generation begins from the moment of sale of goods or performance of work, provision of services. The funds received for the sale of the main product comprise revenue. When the costs that were incurred in the manufacture of the goods are deducted from the proceeds, that same profit remains. Any leader seeks to maximize this indicator. To do this, using various tools, work is carried out with three main factors that directly affect the company's income. These include the value of the set price, sales and the level of costs for the manufacture of goods.
If we talk about an increase in sales, then in this case the work of the advertising department is carried out, the demand in the market for these goods is studied, and adequate competition is welcomed. A huge role in the implementation mechanism is played by advertising, you should not save on advertising, because your personal income and company reputation depend on it. Costs of production are considered the main pricing factor, therefore, the company is constantly working to reduce them. To do this, you can introduce programs for the rational use of raw materials, purchase new, more profitable equipment and technologies, stimulate employees in order to increase productivity.
Of course, the mechanism for generating profit depends not only on two criteria. In fact, any operations of the enterprise that bring either income or expense are taken into account. The most indicative is the balance sheet profit, as it includes income and expenses from non-operating activities. That is, the amounts received to the organization’s account from operations with securities, leases of other buildings that are temporarily not used, and various kinds of losses from unpaid debts, equipment downtime and other things are added.
Often, in addition to the main activity, the enterprise has income from auxiliary works. In this regard, a concept such as gross profit, that is, the income that a company receives from all types of activities, has appeared. In this case, the profit or loss from all operations with the property of the company, its intangible assets and fixed assets is taken into account.
Not a single owner of the enterprise will be able to bypass state bodies, because it is customary to pay tax to the budget for the implementation of their own activities. Income relates to taxable criteria. That is why, after receiving gross profit, it is reduced by the amount of tax payments. This is how the formation of net profit, that is, the amount of cash that remains at the disposal of the enterprise.
But that is not all. Indeed, each organization to insure its own activities creates various funds designed to help in unforeseen situations or improve the lives of employees. Thus, profit generation includes deductions to decentralized funds, for example, reserve, social development funds, as well as dividend payments to shareholders. And only after that remains the part that is called unused profit. In some cases, instead of the expected income, a cash shortage occurs, that is, an uncovered loss. Then you can raise the question of the feasibility of the enterprise.
Profit generation should be carried out so that all costs of the enterprise are adequately covered, there are no problems with contributions to the budget and extra-budgetary funds, and always unused profit remains.
