If its cash outflow exceeds the inflow, a company has a negative cash flow. Reasons for negative cash flow include too much or obsolete inventory and poor collections on accounts receivable (what your customers owe you). If the company can't borrow additional cash at this point, it may be in serious trouble.

Cash flow is a more pure reading of exactly how the business is doing.  EPS can have a lot of other factors that are variable from quarter to quarter, such as one time charges or different tax rates.

If it crosses the line of being compensated, or asking for business, it crosses the line of spamming.\n\nIf this is not policed, soon it will become an online Advertizing campaign, instead of a question and answer board.\n\nI do Real Estate and Loans.  I answer questions sometimes in those sections.  But I don't ask for business.  Many times I don't even say it's my profession.  \n\nWe all want to make money in life. But this forum is not the place to ask.  At least not advertently.

Why would you want to sell to someone who has no need for your product.  Money from sales comes from repeat business.  If business has no need for your product, then you will not get repeat business.  \n\nThe cost of the orginal sale is usually more than lthe profit from the orginal sale.  Unless you consider your time has no value.

If you find out, let me know.  The future is anybodies guess. Some companies are becoming good buys. Others still have a way to go yet.\n\nFear is currently ruling the market and it might be a while yet before greed wins the upper hand. \n\nThere is a lesson to be learned here and I hope it is not too expensive for you.   That lesson is 1. maintain a cash reserve.  2. when you have a good profit, take some of it 3. buy low. sell high. \n\nThe longer the correction runs the better the buying opportunity. It is ok to take a small bite now and then but keep the bite small.

Only a certified accountant could answer this for you---and surely you have one (?) and if not---you better get one-----The number of stores that you have---even the level of actual business you are doing has but certain input into whether or not your business is solid in its entirity---alot of factors go into this summary----Major companies with unbelievable cash flow go under on a regular basis for any number of reasons---too rapid in expanding being one of the culprits---assumation of debt loads beyond the business' capabilities is another---Major Repeat Problem with alot of business that fails is the fact that the people running the business are very familiar with their product or service and are emersed in that and have no skills or focus on the actual bottom line of the overall business---So there is no way anyone here can answer your question with any certainty---YOU NEED AN ACCOUNTANT---NOW

This is the balance of your sales and variable cost. So, if your break even point is very high that means, you are taking longer time in getting your money back and at the same time less scope of improve profitability.

Yes, even though they are not in business for the purpose of making a profit, they aren't there to lose money either. A break-even analysis will show the business how much it needs to sell without going broke. If the business operates below its break-even point, it will be out of business in no time.

False.  Leverage means debt.  Debt means ability to generate payments.  If sales are cyclical, there will be some periods where income can easily service payments, but there will also be periods where it will be tough, which leads to the downfall of a business.

For accounting purposes, cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows.  This statement shows the amount of cash generated and used by a company in a given period, calculated by adding non-cash charges (such as depreciation) to net income after taxes. Cash flow can be attributed to a specific project, or to a business as a whole. Cash flow can be used as an indication of a company's financial strength.\n\nThe cash flow statement is presented either indirectly or directly.  Only governmental and not-for-profit entities financial statements require the indirect and the direct method.  All others only require the direct method.  Therefore, most schools do not teach the indirect method.\n\nThe statement is broken up into three sections:  Cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing and cash flows from financing.

Very simple...   When there is a negative trade balance, we are purchasing MORE foreign goods that we are exporting..\n\nThe BAD is that it shows that there is more demand for foreign goods than "stuff" built in the USA.\n\nThe GOOD, negative trade balance puts downward pressure on the US dollar and that is good for exporters because it makes US good cheaper to foreign investors.\n\nThe BAD, a weaker US dollar makes it more expensive for US residents to vacation abroad..\n\nThe GOOD, US residents who do not vacation abroad spend their money instead here at home...\n\nConclusion, there is not right or wrong answer..
