i thought black was breaking even, starting to pull profit. I though Blue or green was profitable while of course red means in the hole. so sad i've taken over 30 college hours of business classes and not once were any of these colors ever mentioned. |
financial reports would be done in black ink... now since owners are interested in where they are losing money, losses would be written in red to stand out, hence where "in the red" came from. and then profits are referred to as "in the black" as bad as in the black may sound lol. as for breaking even, when you're investing millions of dollars, and then you've got millions in revenue, i don't think a company will ever break even. if that happened I think the universe would come into balance..and then implode
