1. Revenue and Profit | 收入与利润
Revenue is the total income a business earns from selling its goods or services before any costs are deducted. It is sometimes called sales turnover. Profit is what remains after all expenses have been subtracted from revenue. Businesses distinguish between gross profit and net profit to understand performance at different levels.
收入是企业在扣除任何成本之前，通过销售商品或服务获得的总所得，有时也称为销售额。利润是收入减去所有费用之后的结余。企业会区分毛利润和净利润，以便在不同层面上了解经营表现。
Revenue = Selling price per unit × Quantity sold
收入 = 单位售价 × 销售数量
Gross Profit = Revenue − Cost of Sales
毛利润 = 收入 − 销售成本
Net Profit = Gross Profit − Expenses
净利润 = 毛利润 − 费用
Cost of sales includes direct costs such as raw materials and direct labour. Expenses cover indirect costs like rent, salaries of administrative staff, and marketing. A business can increase profit by raising revenue or controlling costs.
销售成本包括原材料和直接人工等直接成本。费用涵盖租金、行政人员薪水和营销等间接成本。企业可以通过增加收入或控制成本来提高利润。
2. Total Costs and Average Cost | 总成本与平均成本
Total costs are the sum of all fixed costs and variable costs a business incurs. Fixed costs do not change with output in the short run (e.g. rent), while variable costs vary directly with production volume (e.g. raw materials). Average cost shows the cost per unit produced, which helps with pricing decisions.
总成本是企业发生的所有固定成本与可变成本之和。固定成本在短期内不随产量变化（例如租金），而可变成本直接随产量变动（例如原材料）。平均成本表示每单位产品的成本，有助于定价决策。
Total Costs (TC) = Fixed Costs (FC) + Variable Costs (VC)
总成本 = 固定成本 + 可变成本
Average Cost (AC) = Total Costs ÷ Quantity of output
平均成本 = 总成本 ÷ 产出数量
When average cost falls as output increases, the business benefits from economies of scale. If average cost rises, diseconomies of scale may be occurring. Managers monitor these figures to keep production efficient.
当平均成本随着产量增加而下降时，企业会受益于规模经济。如果平均成本上升，则可能出现规模不经济。管理者会监控这些数据以保持生产效率。
3. Break-even Analysis | 盈亏平衡分析
The break-even point is the level of output where total revenue equals total costs – the business makes neither a profit nor a loss. It is a vital planning tool for start-ups and when launching new products. The formula uses fixed costs and the contribution per unit.
盈亏平衡点是指总收入等于总成本的产出水平——企业既没有盈利也没有亏损。这是初创企业和推出新产品时的重要规划工具。该公式使用固定成本和单位贡献毛利。
Break-even output = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling price per unit − Variable cost per unit)
盈亏平衡产量 = 固定成本 ÷ (单位售价 − 单位可变成本)
The term in brackets is the contribution per unit. A break-even chart can also be drawn, showing total revenue and total cost lines intersecting at the break-even point. Below this point the business makes a loss; above it, a profit is generated.
括号内的部分就是单位贡献毛利。也可以绘制盈亏平衡图，图中总收入线与总成本线相交的点即为盈亏平衡点。低于该点企业亏损；高于该点则产生盈利。
4. Margin of Safety | 安全边际
Margin of safety measures the amount by which actual sales can fall before the business reaches its break-even point. It provides an indication of risk – a larger margin of safety means the business is more resilient to drops in demand.
安全边际衡量的是实际销售量可以下降多少才会达到盈亏平衡点。它反映风险程度——安全边际越大，企业越能承受需求下降的冲击。
Margin of safety = Actual sales − Break-even sales
安全边际 = 实际销售量 − 盈亏平衡销售量
It can be expressed in units or in revenue terms. A business with a narrow margin of safety may need to act quickly if sales decline, perhaps by reducing fixed costs or raising prices if the market allows.
安全边际可以用数量或收入额表示。安全边际较窄的企业在销售量下降时可能需要迅速行动，例如降低固定成本，或在市场允许的情况下提高售价。
5. Contribution | 贡献毛利
Contribution is the amount each unit sold contributes towards covering fixed costs and then generating profit. It is a key concept for decision-making, such as whether to accept a special order or discontinue a product line.
贡献毛利是指每售出一单位产品可为覆盖固定成本、进而创造利润做出的贡献金额。它是决策中的关键概念，例如是否接受特殊订单或停产某一产品线。
Contribution per unit = Selling price − Variable cost per unit
单位贡献毛利 = 售价 − 单位可变成本
Total contribution = Contribution per unit × Quantity sold
总贡献毛利 = 单位贡献毛利 × 销售数量
If total contribution exceeds fixed costs, the business makes a profit. Managers often calculate contribution when they cannot easily allocate all overheads to individual products.
如果总贡献毛利超过固定成本，企业就能盈利。当管理者难以将全部间接费用准确分摊到各产品时，常使用贡献毛利来进行分析。
6. Cash Flow Forecast | 现金流预测
A cash flow forecast is a projection of cash inflows and outflows over a future period. It helps a business anticipate periods of negative cash flow so it can arrange overdrafts or delay payments. The key formula is for net cash flow and closing balance.
现金流预测是对未来一段时间内现金流入和流出的预估。它能帮助企业预判出现金流为负的时期，以便提前安排透支或推迟付款。关键公式是净现金流和期末余额。
Net cash flow = Cash inflows − Cash outflows
净现金流 = 现金流入 − 现金流出
Closing balance = Opening balance + Net cash flow
期末余额 = 期初余额 + 净现金流
Cash inflows may come from sales revenue, loans, or owner’s capital. Outflows include payments to suppliers, wages, and interest. A forecast is not a guarantee but a planning estimate that should be updated regularly.
现金流入可能来自销售收入、贷款或所有者资本。流出包括支付给供应商的货款、工资和利息。预测并非保证，而是应定期更新的规划估算。
7. Profitability Ratios | 盈利能力比率
Profitability ratios assess how successfully a business generates profit relative to its sales or investment. Two commonly examined ratios are gross profit margin and net profit margin. They are expressed as percentages, allowing comparison over time and with competitors.
盈利能力比率评估企业相对于其销售额或投资而言产生利润的能力。两个常考的比率是毛利率和净利率。它们都以百分比表示，便于跨时间以及与竞争对手比较。
Gross Profit Margin (%) = (Gross Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100
毛利率 (%) = (毛利润 ÷ 收入) × 100
Net Profit Margin (%) = (Net Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100
净利率 (%) = (净利润 ÷ 收入) × 100
A falling gross profit margin may indicate rising cost of sales or price cuts. A declining net profit margin suggests expenses are growing too quickly. Businesses can improve margins by negotiating lower supplier prices or increasing selling prices without losing too many customers.
毛利率下降可能表明销售成本上升或进行了降价。净利率下降则意味着费用增长过快。企业可以通过与供应商协商更低的价格，或在不过度流失客户的情况下提高售价来改善利润率。
8. Liquidity Ratios | 流动性比率
Liquidity ratios measure a business’s ability to meet its short-term debts as they fall due. The two main ratios are the current ratio and the acid test (quick) ratio. Sufficient liquidity is essential to avoid insolvency.
流动性比率衡量企业到期偿付短期债务的能力。两个主要比率是流动比率和速动比率（酸性测试比率）。保持充足的流动性对避免破产至关重要。
Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
流动比率 = 流动资产 ÷ 流动负债
Acid Test Ratio = (Current Assets − Inventories) ÷ Current Liabilities
速动比率 = (流动资产 − 存货) ÷ 流动负债
A current ratio below 1.0 means current assets cannot cover short-term debts, which is risky. However, an excessively high ratio may indicate idle cash or poorly managed inventories. The acid test ratio removes inventories because they are not always quickly convertible to cash.
流动比率低于 1.0 意味着流动资产无法覆盖短期债务，具有风险。但过高的比率也可能表明现金闲置或存货管理不善。速动比率剔除存货是因为存货不一定能迅速变现。
9. Market Share and Growth | 市场份额与增长
Market share represents the proportion of total industry sales attributed to a single business. It is an important indicator of competitiveness. Market growth measures how the overall market size is changing, which helps firms spot opportunities and threats.
市场份额是指整个行业总销售额中某一企业所占的比例。它是竞争力的重要指标。市场增长衡量整体市场规模的变化，帮助企业发现机会和威胁。
Market Share (%) = (Business’s Sales ÷ Total Market Sales) × 100
市场份额 (%) = (企业销售额 ÷ 市场总销售额) × 100
Market Growth (%) = [(Sales this year − Sales last year) ÷ Sales last year] × 100
市场增长率 (%) = [(本年销售额 − 上年销售额) ÷ 上年销售额] × 100
A business can increase market share by offering better quality, lower prices, or stronger branding. If the market is growing rapidly, even a constant market share can mean increasing sales volumes, which is often a positive sign for investors.
企业可以通过提供更优质量、更低价格或更强品牌来增加市场份额。如果市场增长迅速，即使市场份额保持不变，销售量依然可能上升，这对投资者通常是积极信号。
10. Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) | 需求价格弹性
Price elasticity of demand measures how responsive the quantity demanded is to a change in price. Knowing PED helps a business predict the effect of a price change on total revenue. It is always negative, but the sign is often ignored in interpretation.
需求价格弹性衡量需求量对价格变动的反应程度。了解需求价格弹性有助于企业预测价格变动对总收入的影响。它总是负值，但解释时通常忽略符号。
PED = Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price
需求价格弹性 = 需求量变动百分比 ÷ 价格变动百分比
If PED > 1 (ignoring the minus sign), demand is elastic – a price cut will raise total revenue. If PED < 1, demand is inelastic – a price rise will increase total revenue. Products with many substitutes, such as branded snacks, tend to have elastic demand. Necessities with few substitutes, like petrol, often have inelastic demand.
如果 PED > 1（忽略负号），需求富有弹性——降价会增加总收入。如果 PED < 1，需求缺乏弹性——提价会增加总收入。有众多替代品的产品（如品牌零食）往往需求弹性较大；替代品很少的必需品（如汽油）往往需求弹性较小。
11. Average Rate of Return (ARR) | 平均回报率
The average rate of return is a method used to evaluate the profitability of an investment project. It compares the average annual profit from the investment to the initial cost, expressed as a percentage. This helps a business decide whether a project meets its target rate of return.
平均回报率是一种评估投资项目盈利能力的方法。它将投资的平均年利润与初始成本进行比较，以百分比表示。这有助于企业判断项目是否达到其目标回报率。
Average annual profit = Total net profit over project life ÷ Number of years
平均年利润 = 项目周期内总净利润 ÷ 年数
ARR (%) = (Average annual profit ÷ Initial cost of investment) × 100
平均回报率 (%) = (平均年利润 ÷ 初始投资成本) × 100
A higher ARR means the project is more attractive. However, ARR does not take into account the timing of cash flows or the time value of money. It is best used alongside other investment appraisal methods such as payback period.
平均回报率越高，项目越具吸引力。但 ARR 没有考虑现金流的时机或货币的时间价值。最好与其他投资评估方法（如回收期法）结合使用。
