For-Profit or Non-Profit? Profit – an organization that produces or sells
goods or services to satisfy the needs, wants, and demands of consumers for the purposes of making a profit ($$$)
Non-Profit – an organization that does not seek profit as its primary goal, but raises funds for people for a specific goal
Examples of For-Profit Businesses
For-Profit Business Goal: To make a profit by supplying goods and
services to meet consumer demands Profit = The income left over once all costs and
expenses are paid Revenue = Income generated from the sale of
goods/services Expenses – includes employee wages,
supplies/materials needed for the business (paper, printer ink, etc.)
Costs – the amount of money needed at each stage of production (buying raw materials, manufacturing those materials into a product, selling the product, etc.)
Simply remember…
Revenue – Expenses = Profit (or Loss)
Example: If a store sells gym equipment for $500, and costs & expenses add up to $350, the profit on the sale is $150
$500 - $350 = $150Revenue Expenses Profit (or Loss)
Now it’s your turn…
If a sporting good store sells a pair of shoes for $130, and the costs and expenses for the shoes total $50, what is the profit on the sale?
Remember:Revenue – Expenses = Profit (or Loss)
Profit?
Revenue – Expenses = Profit (or Loss)
$130 - $50 = $80 Revenue Expenses Profit
Importance of Profit
Obviously, a business needs profit in order to be successful
Profit = more $$$ going back into the business for growth and expansion
Profit = more $$$ to buy better goods or improved services
Profit = more $$$ in the owner’s pocket
No Profit? Sometimes, businesses will not make a
profit. If a business makes no profit, but the
owner is still able to pay debts (rent/lease for space, paying for raw materials, employee wages), the business is considered solvent.
Solvency means being able to pay debt and meet financial obligations.
Non-Profit Organizations
A non-profit organization is one that does not seek profit as its primary motive.
Seeks to raise money for a specific goal Example: Charities are non-profit
organizations
