Thank you, I appreciate this very much. To the uninformed or economically disinclined, this may be difficult to interpret, therefore I will try my best. Sales are the raw numbers of shipments to retailers and point of purchase sales to the individual consumer. Profit is revenue after taxes and liabilities. Assets are a combination of liquid and illiquid assets. Liquid assets are cash and inventory. Illiquid assets are capital most common in the form of physical buildings and personnel (who are also considered a liability due to the cost of wages). Market value, I suspect without a key here, is a company's real and perceived market value taking into account total assets and liabilities both long term and short term. Sony may have more Assets and Profits than Panasonic, but if you put those into the context of comparison with their short term and long term liabilities, then Sony has a lesser market value than Panasonic because of higher liabilities than assets. Did I miss anything or completely flub on anything? |
Thank you, I was wondering what Assets were...
what?
