INSIDE A LESSON / ILLUSTRATIVE SAMPLE
Profit is a measure. Cash is a constraint.
The question
A fictional company starts with $40,000 in cash. It collects $90,000, pays $105,000 in operating costs, and buys $25,000 of equipment. How much cash remains?
Work it through
$40,000 + $90,000 − $105,000 − $25,000 = $0.
The decision
Before approving more spending, examine payment timing, working capital, and funding options. Profit alone cannot answer the liquidity question.
Simplified fictional example. All listed amounts are cash movements; financing, tax, and other movements are omitted.
