Profit Versus Profitability

Profit is an absolute number that is earned on an investment. › Accounting profit, for a business, is typically shown at the

bottom of an income statement as net income. › Entrepreneurial profit is the amount that is earned above and

beyond what the entrepreneur would have earned if he or she had chosen to invest time and money in some other enterprise.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


5-7


Profit Versus Profitability (continued)

Profitability can be measured in a business by using a ratio that is obtained by dividing net profit by total assets. Profitability, therefore, is our Return on Investment (assets).

Net profit (income)ROI

Earning Power

The earning power of a company can be defined as the product of two factors: › The company’s ability to generate income on the amount of

revenue it receives, which is also known as net profit margin; and › Its ability to maximize sales revenue from proper asset

employment, also known as total asset turnover.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


5-9


Earning Power Formulas

Earning power is equal to net profit margin multiplied by total asset turnover which is equal to return on investment (total assets).

Earning power Net profit margin x Total asset turnover

Net profit (income) Net sales x

many units of production must be sold, or how much revenue must be obtained, before we begin to earn a profit.

Break-Even Analysis (continued)

Break-even dollars:

Where VC is variable cost expressed as a percentage of sales (revenue).› For retail firm: VC percentage =(Cost of Goods Sold)/(Net

Sales)› For manufacturing firm: VC percentage = (Variable cost of a

unit)/(Selling price)

Break-Even Analysis (continued)

Contribution margin is the amount of profit that will be made by a company on each unit that is sold above and beyond the break-even quantity.

Contribution margin is also the amount the company will lose for each unit of production by which it falls short of the break-even point.

Leverage

Leverage uses those items that have a fixed cost to magnify the return to a company. Fixed costs can be related to company operations or related to the cost of financing.› Interest expenses paid on the amount of debt incurred is the fixed

cost of financing.› A firm is heavily financially leveraged if the fixed costs of

financing are high.

› Chapter 13 bankruptcy is reserved for individuals and sole proprietorships and is similar to, but much simpler than, Chapter 11.
