Out of context, they just mean left (debit) or right (credit) on the ledger.\n\nAccounting uses 5 types of accounts. 3 are balance sheet accounts (asset, liability and owners equity accounts) and 2 are income statement accounts (revenue and expense accounts). \n\nThe balance sheet has asset accounts on the left and liability and owners equity accounts on the right.  The income statement has revenue accounts and expense accounts.  Think of income statement accounts as sub-accounts in the owners equity section of the balance sheet and the debits and credits will make more sense.\n\nAsset accounts normally have a debit balance, so debits increase an asset account and credits decrease an asset account.\n\nLiabilities and owners equity accounts normally have a credit balance, so credits increase a liability or equity account and debits decrease a liability or owners equity account.\n\nThe basic accounting formula that must hold true at all times is:\n\nAssets = Liabilities + Owners equity  \n\n(that's why it's called a balance sheet!)\n\nAll accounting transactions are recorded using double entry bookkeeping where the total of the debits must equal the total of the credits.  One side of a transaction may increase one asset while decreasing another. This would happen when cash (an asset) is paid for inventory (another asset). Inventory is debited and cash is credited.  If the company buys inventory on credit, then the transaction would be: Inventory is debited and Accounts Payable is credited. Accounts Payable is a liability account. When that bill gets paid: Accounts payable is debited and cash is credited.\n\nRevenue increases owners equity, so a revenue item is a credit. Expenses decrease owners equity, so an expense item is a debit. If expenses exceed revenues for a period, it is a loss and a net debit. (It reduces owners equity) If revenues exceed expenses for a period, it is a profit and a net credit. (It increases owners equity.)

EV/EBITDA ratio is the Enterprice Multiple: A ratio used to determine the value of a company. The enterprise multiple looks at a firm as a potential acquirer would, because it takes debt into account - an item which other multiples like the P/E ratio do not include. A low ratio indicates that a company might be undervalued. The enterprise multiple is used for several reasons:\n\n1) It's useful for transnational comparisons because it ignores the distorting effects of individual countries' taxation policies.\n\n2) It's used to find attractive takeover candidates. Enterprise value is a better metric than market cap for takeovers. It takes into account the debt which the acquirer will have to assume. Therefore, a company with a low enterprise multiple can be viewed as a good takeover candidate.\n\nKeep in mind that enterprise multiples can vary depending on the industry. Therefore, it's important to compare the multiple to other companies or to the industry in general. Expect higher enterprise multiples in high growth industries (like biotech) and lower multiples in industries with slow growth (like railways). \n\nP/E is the Price to Earnings Ratio, also known as the price multiplier: It is a valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its per-share earnings. Its formula is:\n\nMarket Value Per Share/Earnings Per Share (EPS)\n\nIt basically tells you how much an investor is willing to pay for a dollar of earnings. For example, if a companyés shares are traded at $25 and its last 4 quarters earnings per share was $2, then the P/E ratio is = $12.\n\nIn general, a high P/E suggests that investors are expecting higher earnings growth in the future compared to companies with a lower P/E. However, the P/E ratio doesn't tell us the whole story by itself. It's usually more useful to compare the P/E ratios of one company to other companies in the same industry, to the market in general or against the company's own historical P/E. It would not be useful for investors using the P/E ratio as a basis for their investment to compare the P/E of a technology company (high P/E) to a utility company (low P/E) as each industry has much different growth prospects.

There is no mathematical formula.  It is what it is.  If you get 2% of all sales, then you get 2% of all sales.  Usually profit sharing only 1 or 2%.  Thats it.

If you want it to hold up then you need to put all sales are final. No refunds or exchanges. If you do not put the information plainly then your clients have wiggle room. If you really want to enforce that then you have to be up front about it. There is no nicer way to say it. Remember saying it is not mean it is just the way it is.

It is actually EBITDA: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization\n\nFrom the following link:\n\n"An indicator of a company's financial performance which is calculated as follows: \n\nEBITDA = Revenue - Expenses (excluding tax, interest, depreciation and amortization)\n\nEBITDA can be used to analyze and compare profitability between companies and industries because it eliminates the effects of financing and accounting decisions. However, this is a non-GAAP measure that allows a greater amount of discretion as to what is (and is not) included in the calculation. This also means that companies often change the items included in their EBITDA calculation from one reporting period to the next."

"Legal Tender". Most people think it means the actual paper money. Instead, it refers to the concept that a creditor (but not any business to which a debt is not already owed) must accept U.S. government-issued coin and paper money.\n\nA merchant (such as a convenience store) may refuse to accept certain denominations (such as bills over $20) or even any cash if the sale is taking place at the time the merchant states his or her conditions.
