Lets learn about ' Cash Flow ' in layman terms .

A thread
#retweet #learning #cashflow Image
Cash Flow:
Imagine cash flow as a river that flows in and out of a business. Just like a river, cash flows into the business from various sources and then flows out through different channels.
Income:
Think of income as the water flowing into the river. It represents the money that comes into a business from sales, investments, or any other source. A business receives income from customers, investors, or other revenue streams.
Expenses:
Expenses can be likened to the rocks or obstacles in a river that cause the water to flow out. These are the costs incurred by a business to operate and maintain its activities. Examples of expenses include rent, salaries, utilities, and raw materials.
Positive Cash Flow:
When the amount of cash coming into the business (income) is greater than the amount flowing out (expenses), it results in a positive cash flow.
Think of this as a river that is receiving more water than it loses along the way. A positive cash flow indicates that a business has more money coming in than going out, which is generally considered a healthy situation.
Negative Cash Flow:
On the other hand, when the amount of cash flowing out (expenses) exceeds the amount coming in (income), it leads to a negative cash flow.
Imagine a river that is experiencing a drought or excessive evaporation, causing the water level to decrease. Similarly, a negative cash flow means that a business is spending more money than it is earning, which can be a sign of financial trouble.
Cash Flow Statement:
Just as a map or GPS system helps navigate a river, a cash flow statement is a financial tool that helps track and understand the movement of cash in a business.
It shows the inflows and outflows of cash over a specific period, allowing business owners to assess their financial health and make informed decisions.
These analogies and examples are simplified representations of cash flow. In reality, cash flow involves more complex factors, such as timing, investments, and financing. However, these comparisons can help you grasp the basic concept of cash flow in a relatable way.

Now lets look at the remaining two ratios in that column :

Cash Conversion Cycle and Working Capital Days

#learning #retweet #cashflow Image
The cash conversion cycle :
measures the time it takes for a company to convert its investments in inventory and other resources into cash flow from sales. It represents the overall process of purchasing inventory, selling it, and collecting payment from customers.
A shorter cash conversion cycle is good, as it indicates that a company can generate cash flow more quickly and efficiently from its operational activities. It is an important measure for assessing a company's liquidity and efficiency in managing its working capital.
