Before making any decision (such as whether to acquire another business, build another plant, hire more people, invest in a new product, etc.), management should weigh the costs (potential risks included) vs. the benefits to be gained (profits).\n\nThus, for example, if you could make $500/unit of some new product that costs $1000 to develop, you would only need to sell 2 units to break even.  If it is feasible to sell 3 or more, according to this cost/benefit analysis, developing the new product is a good business decision. (bad example, but it should illustrate the point)

For the company:\nBasis = (purchase price - accumulated depreciation)\nProfit/Loss = Sale Proceeds - Basis\nThe company would view the profit of loss on the proceeds as a disposition of the asset.  Since the sale is cost less depreciation then the company would have no implications -- depending on the depreciation method.  There could be tax implications if the company were using a cost vs. market depreciation method.\n\nThe tax implication for the employee would be:\n  Basis = Sale Price Paid\nThere are no real tax implications for the employee at that time -- FOR THE SALE OF THE CAR.  If the employee were given that car to use then he/she would have had to be paying tax on the benefit of using the car.

Financial analysis is the analysis of the accounts and the economic prospects of a firm.\n\nFinancial analysts, among other tasks, use to compare financial ratios (of solvency, profitability, growth...)\n\nbetween several periods (the last 5 years for example) \nand between similar firms. \nThose ratios are calculated by dividing a (group of) account balance(s), taken from the balance sheet and / or the income statement, by another, for example :\n\nNet profit / equity = return on equity \nGross profit / balance sheet total = return on assets \nStock price / earnings per share = P/E-ratio

As an accountant, you could take it a number of ways.\n\nfrom a basic trend analysis, 2, 3, ? = 4\n\nWhat about the sales push (advertising)? Or return customers? Word of mouth sales? \n\nThen what about new products? product obsolescence? \n\nExpansion efforts? New or better trained staff? New equipment available to increase production and therefore sales?\n\nThere are other factors beyond the simple data above that should be considered.\n\nCheers, L

The biggest benefit, if you follow the rules, is the fact that liability stops with the assets of the corporation.  A sole propriator could in theary lose everything they own if found liable.  There are some tax benefits, and some negatives.  You'd best take the time to visit either a tax attorney or CPA and discuss your situation.

Cost Audit is the process of ascertaining whether the production, marketing and sales processes as well as other aspects of a business are managed in the most cost effective way. This is essentially an Internal Audit and is done as a tool for optimising management efficiency. The most important benefit is the location of unseen leaks in revenues or unproductive  or under- productive employment of resources\n\nIt is mandatory if the Business is under scrutiny by a financial institution or regulator on the basis of complaints of mismanagement.\n Always it is desirable to have a Cost audit done periodically, to prevent the situation getting out of control, and to help the management to take prompt action where necessary.

You have not mentioned the type of organisation. Manufacturing or Marketing etc.\nFirst you must divide the organisation into various departments on some related basis.You also must have the data regarding the costs or expenditures incurred.\nCollection Classification comparison itself would reveal many things. \nIf manufacturing organisation you can determine the cost per unit of production ; and compare with various periods.\nWell This is not a forum to cover the entire gamut of cost vcontrol.

I think the best source for an overview of this information is Adrian Slywotzsky's best selling book - the Profit Zone.  This was required reading in my MBA program.  The Profit Zone has write ups on 22 different profit models - each of which is somewhat unique for depending on its business model. For example "Specialization Profit" takes different approaches that "Relative Market Share Profit."  This is a great book, easy to read, with a lot of visual content that will help you understand the concepts.
