basically to forecast how the company will do in the future. Usually some really smart guy will predict how much profits there will be. If the numbers are good (meaning the company is predicted to do very well in the future), people will invest in the company or buy things.

I've heard MRP also used for Material & Resource Planning (in operations).  \n\nThe thing is this:  to make a good you need components and labor.  Both are expensive and subject to supply and storage constraints.  A firm that pays attention to MRP will waste less resources than firms that make things without planning accordingly.  \n\nIn short - demand is scheduled based on sales projections.  From that a production schedule is made, and the labor and materials are then forecast from the schedule.  The labor is scheduled according to production, and the materials are ordered in the quantities needed to arrive when they will be used.

Well, accrued accounting process is obviously different than the cash accounting process. For cash accounting, all you need is to record the amount when cash change hands. However, for accrued accounting, you have to go along with the MATCHING PRINCIPLE -- you have to match your revenues with your expenses (in the same reporting period). For example, you made a payment for renting an apartment for two years (this year & next year). In this year, you can only report this year's rent; you can't report the total payment for Yr 1 and Yr 2. You have to report the rent of Yr 2 in Yr 2 because that's when you actually use (expense) the apartment (Yes, even though you paid it).\n\nI hope this help.

For my kids' Quarter Midgets, we usually ask local businesses that we patronize.  Some of them are large distribution companies that my husband deals with through his work.  I know you need cash on a larger scale, but think about larger industries & companies in your area.

Small busiensses tend to run out of cash fast.  So you really want to keep track of your cash flow.  Also look at if you have too much A/R.  Will you be able to pay your A/P.  How long does it take for your inventory to turn.  If you run out of cash, where can you get credit.  Good accounting can help you keep an eye on these issues to mange your business.

If you are preparing a balance sheet cash should be shown as a current asset. And capital employed is calculated by adding profits to initial/opening capital and deducting any drawings. \n\nOpening capital should consist of all cash and assets invested in the business initially.

This is more complicated than can a short answer will allow but here's a start:\n\nThe method used in reporting cash flows will be apparent from the top and bottom lines.  If the top line is net income, and everything adds to net income, then they are using indirect.  If the top portion has changes in net working capital (change in receivables, change in cash, change in payables) then the firm is using direct.\n\nThe 10-K will ideally have multiple years' data, but that doesn't always happen.  However, you can look up the 10-K for the same quarter prior year for comparison purposes.  From there get comparative net income and operating cash flows.

Strategic planning is a disciplined, creative process for determining how to take your organization from where it is today to where you wish it to be in the future.\n\nStrategic planning is fundamentally a decision making process, based on asking simple (but deep) questions, analyzing the range of answers, and choosing among them: \n\n            What do we do?                        Where are we going? \n            Where are we now?                   How will we get there? \n            How did we get here?                When will we get there? \n            Why are we in business?            What will it cost? \n\n    This process encompasses the entire spectrum of issues an organization faces, ranging from the big ones of who you are, what you do, and what your corporate values are to the smaller but equally important ones that connect the focus on the future with the work that must be performed soon to move the organization forward. \n  \n\n\nWHAT ARE ITS BENEFITS?\n\n    The benefits of strategic planning are manifold since it: \n\nAsks and answers questions of key importance to the organization \nProvides a framework for decision making throughout the organization \nReveals and clarifies future opportunities and threats \nSets specific objectives for achievement \nProvides a basis for measuring performance \nServes as a channel of communication \nDevelops a team which is focussed on the organization's future \nProvides managerial training \n    The above benefits can be encapsulated in a single statement: \nStrategic planning aligns the total organization – people, processes, and resources – with a clear, compelling, and desired future state. \n \n\nWHAT ARE ITS LIMITATIONS?\n\n    While the benefits are manifold, unfortunately so so its limitations: \nThe future is uncertain and might differ substantially from expectations on which parts of the plan may be built. \nThere will be internal resistance to formal planning due to multiple factors: \nInformation flows, decision making, and power relationships will be perturbed. \nConflicts within organization are exposed. \nCurrent operating problems tend to drive out long-term planning efforts. \nThere are risks and fears of failure. \nNew demands will be placed on managers and staff. \nMost people wish to avoid uncertainty. \nPlanning is difficult, messy, hard work. \nPlanning is expensive - in time and money. \nThe completed plan limits choices and activities for the organization in the future.

Working capital is a true measurement of how much cash the operation is generating and thereby has available for reinvestment.  Liquidity can change dramatically as a function of account receivable collection, inventory reduction and cash management.

Projection of data means the future probable value of your recently acquired data. For example, if you do a population survey of a certain place, so your time would be the date you conducted your survey let say this year 2006. then you needed a population data for 2010 of course you dont have such data, but you have the data now and pass population data. you can compute for average birthrate, since you have birthrate you can compute now for the population for 2010. although you cannot actually compute the exact number but you have scientific basis for your projected data.\n\nget what i mean?? if you cant understand yet, feel free to ask more. jefrey_calosa@mhi.co.jp

The success of a business is a matter of planning. \nA business plan enables you work out the viability of your business. \n\nIt also allows you to work out in advance how you will operate your business. \n\n\nPlanning is traditionally considered to be one of the four major functions of management, along with organizing, leading and coordinating/controlling. Simply put, planning is identifying where you want to go, why you want to go there, how you will get there, what you need in order to get there and how you will know if you're there or not. \n\nBusiness plans often conclude with a statement about profitability. \n\nA well made business plan should also help you set up business relationships with others. It will help you communicate the viability of your strategy to financiers, suppliers and government agencies. \n\nAnd once you have commenced, the business plan plots a course for you to follow in operating the business. \n\nObviously, any business can set up and operate without a business plan but it is darn good practice to have one. Managing your business with the assistance of a business plan is more likely to increase profitability and efficiency as well as contribute to the future development of the business. \n\n\n\nThe following are many of the types of plans generated in a business organizations.\n\n1.Strategic Planning (establish organizational goals and how to reach them)strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there and how it'll know if it got there or not. The focus of a strategic plan is usually on the entire organization, while the focus of a business plan is usually on a particular product, service or program.\n2.Business Planning (plan a new business organization, product, business department, etc.)Business planning is often conducted when:\nStarting a new venture (organization, product or service) \nExpanding a current organization, product or service \nBuying a current organization, product or service \nWorking to improve the management of a current organization, product or service .\n3.Project Planning (design and carry out a specific, one-time effort, eg, building, product, etc.)\n4.Program Planning (design and carry out a major, internal or external org'l function)\n5.Management-by-Objectives (comprehensive process to ensure organizational goals being met).\n\nThen there are other types of planning as well like Marketing Planning, Tactical Planning, Internal-control planning etc.

Simple answer: To know if those goals suit your personal goals.  \n\nThey may also determine an organizaton's effectiveness, and the amount of value that it might add to the company.  An organization's ability to match stated goals with real goals may also determine it's stability, and it's ability to survive as a going concern.

You're probably referring to advisors who recommend converting to cash "instruments," or cash equivalents. \n\nIf someone were in stocks, or advising someone in stocks, they would just advise selling the stocks.\n\nSo the question is probably directed at mutual fund investors, who may be in baskets of several underlying investments, whether stocks, bonds, real estate plays, or whatever. \n\nThe advice refers to these types of investors to sell out of their current investments, and buy into money market accounts or T-Bills, or CD's, or some other form of liquid cash instrument, but not cash itself, which is not interest bearing.

cash equivalent are liquid assets, this is done to determine true cash flow & how much change occured due to financing activity & how much is due to operations.\ne.g. 10,000 opening cash , \n     + 5,000  cash from operation\n     - 12,000  financing ( loans etc given/invested)\n   = 3000 closing cash/equivalent

I'd have to say cash flow, because without cash, you basically cannot achieve your business goals. net and gross profit are good if you're looking for an investor, but even then, they want to know your cash flow...where your cash is going and how much cash do you have at any given time. if you're borrowing money, your lender will also want to know your cash flow so that they can know if you'll have enough to pay off the debt. \n\nSo yes, in my opinion, cash flow is the most important. as they say, "cash is king"!!!
