  10. Can a profitable business run out of cash? Sales ฿40,000 (50% cash & 50% credit) Cost of sales ฿15,000 Opening Balance...... Cash inflow................ Cash outflow............. Closing balance....... ฿0 ฿20,000 ฿15,000 Gross Profit ฿25,000 ฿5,000

  11. Insolvency There is a clear difference between profit & cash flow. Although the goods have been sold, the business has only received payment for 50% of them. Customers buying goods on credit will pay cash for them later months. Therefore, YES a profitable business can run out of money. This situation is called insolvency. • Insolvency occurs when: • Allowing customers too long a credit period • By buying too many fixed assets, and thus having very little working capital

  12. Key terms... Working capital The amount of money a business has to meet its day-to-day needs. Liquidity Is the ability for a business to pay its short term debts. Insolvency Describes a situation when a business is unable to pay its debts.
