This document discusses the theory of profit according to Professor Khemraj Subedi. It defines profit as the positive gain from business operations after subtracting all costs. Gross profit is the difference between total revenue and total costs of production, while net profit is the income after deducting explicit and implicit costs. The uncertainty bearing theory of profit proposed by Frank Knight argues that profit arises from bearing non-insurable risks and uncertainties like competitive risk, technical risk, and changes in demand rather than foreseeable risks which can be insured. Knight believes uncertainties explain profit, as entrepreneurs cannot foresee or measure these risks and have to bear them. However, the theory is criticized for oversimplifying the causes of profit.
The Law of Variable Proportions states that as the quantity of one variable input is increased while holding other inputs fixed, total product will initially rise at an increasing rate, then at a decreasing rate, and eventually at a negative rate. It operates in the short-run when some factors can vary and others are fixed. The law is demonstrated through a schedule that shows as labor is incrementally increased from 1 to 6 units, total product first increases, then increases at a lower rate, and eventually decreases, moving from phases of increasing, diminishing, and negative returns.
In Macroeconomics Income and Employment are interchangeable terms, since in the short-run National income depends on the total volume of employment or economic activity in the country. As income and employment are synonymous the employment theory is also called income theory.
It should be clear to readers that the classical economists did not formulate any specific theory of employment as such. They only laid down certain postulates which subsequently developed as a theory.
A "wage determination" is the listing of wage rates and work benefit rates for each classification of labourers and mechanics. This is determined by skill, effort, knowledge, experience etc.
R.G. Hawtrey viewed business cycles as purely monetary phenomena caused by fluctuations in bank credit and money supply. He argued that expansions are caused when banks lower interest rates and expand credit, stimulating borrowing by traders. This leads to increased production, income, spending and demand in a self-reinforcing cycle. Contractions occur when banks tighten credit due to depleted reserves, raising rates and curbing borrowing. This causes falling demand, income, production, prices and profits in a deflationary spiral. Hawtrey saw uncontrolled credit as the root cause of instability, and argued that controlling credit would regulate economic fluctuations.
The document discusses the business cycle, which refers to periods of economic expansion and contraction over time. A business cycle consists of expansions, recessions/general contractions, and revivals. Expansions are periods of increased production, prices, and employment. Recessions involve declining output, prices, and rising unemployment. Contractions occur when the economy experiences a steep decline. Revivals mark the beginning of the next expansion phase. The phases of the business cycle - peak, recession, trough, recovery - are explained in detail. Causes of recessions and theories to explain business cycles like Keynesian and real business cycle theories are also summarized.
This document discusses production functions and their key concepts. It defines a production function as expressing the relationship between physical inputs and physical output of a firm for a given technology. It describes factors of production as land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. It also discusses the difference between short-run and long-run production functions, fixed and variable factors, laws of variable proportions and returns to scale.

This document discusses production functions and their key concepts. It defines a production function as expressing the relationship between physical inputs and physical output of a firm for a given technology. It describes factors of production as land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. It also discusses the difference between short-run and long-run production functions, fixed and variable factors, laws of variable proportions and returns to scale.
The document discusses the law of variable proportions, which examines how output changes when the quantity of one input (the variable factor) is increased while keeping other inputs fixed. It defines the law, lists its assumptions, and explains it using a tabular example of increasing a fixed amount of land with varying labor. Total product, marginal product, and average product are calculated at each stage. Graphically, there are three stages: increasing returns, diminishing returns, and negative returns. Causes of each stage are also provided, such as underutilization of fixed factors in the first stage and imperfect substitutability of factors in later stages.
The marginal productivity theory of distribution Prabha Panth
The document discusses the neoclassical theory of distribution and the concept of factor payments. It addresses the "adding up" problem of whether total factor payments will equal total product. Wicksteed showed that under constant returns to scale and factors paid their marginal products, total revenue will equal total costs through Euler's theorem. However, this assumes a linear homogeneous production function. Later economists like Samuelson and Hicks found the condition is only met at the minimum point of the long-run average cost curve, where a firm has constant returns to scale.
The document discusses the business cycle and its key stages and features. It defines the business cycle as the fluctuations in economic activity around its long-term trend, involving periods of growth and periods of decline. The main stages are identified as boom, recession, slump, and recovery. Other key points covered include the periodicity and self-reinforcing nature of business cycles as well as different theories that attempt to explain the causes of the cycle such as monetary, fiscal policy, innovation, and overproduction theories.
This document discusses business and trade cycles. It provides three main theories for the causes of trade cycles:
1. Schumpeter's innovation theory which argues that business cycles are caused by periodic bursts of innovation by capitalists. This leads to periods of boom and recession as innovations are adopted.
2. Samuelson's multiplier-accelerator theory which explains how interactions between consumption, investment, and income can cause fluctuations in economic activity through feedback loops.
3. Hicks' theory which views trade cycles as temporary deviations around an economy's steady growth path. It analyzes how increases in autonomous investment can trigger boom-bust cycles through multiplier and accelerator effects.
All three theories attempt to explain the regular patterns of
In monopoly, there is a single seller of a product called a monopolist. The monopolist controls pricing, demand, and supply decisions to set prices and maximize profits. The monopolist often charges different prices from different consumers for the same product, which is called price discrimination. Price discrimination can occur based on personal characteristics, use, or geography.
The document is an economics presentation about price effect. It defines price effect as the change in demand in response to a change in price of a commodity, with other factors held constant. Price effect is the sum of the substitution effect and income effect. The substitution effect occurs when consumers substitute cheaper goods for more expensive goods to maximize satisfaction at a fixed income level. The income effect depends on whether a good is normal, inferior, or a Giffen good, and how changes in real income from price changes affect demand for that good.
The document discusses different theories of cost, including traditional and modern theories. Under traditional theory, costs are categorized as total, average, and marginal in both the short-run and long-run. Total cost equals total fixed cost plus total variable cost. Average cost depends on average fixed and average variable cost. Marginal cost is the change in total cost from producing one additional unit. In the long-run, all costs are variable. Modern theory proposes cost curves are L-shaped rather than U-shaped as traditionally thought.

in this report, it discuss about major role of profit , its types and various theories of profit to understand the principles of accounting. and how it helps to understand the various techniques to understand it
This document discusses production functions and returns to scale. It defines production functions and different types including short run and long run production functions. It then explains key features like substitutability, complementarity and specificity of factors. Next it covers returns to scale, defining it as the change in output when all inputs change proportionately. It details increasing, constant and decreasing returns to scale, providing examples. Causes of each type of return are also outlined.
This document discusses monetary policy and fiscal policy in India. It defines monetary policy as steps taken by the Reserve Bank of India to regulate money supply, credit availability, and interest rates. The objectives of monetary policy include full employment, price stability, economic growth, and balance of payments stability. Tools of monetary policy discussed include bank rate, cash reserve ratio, open market operations, and selective credit controls. Fiscal policy is defined as the government's tax and spending policies. The objectives of fiscal policy are to influence aggregate demand and achieve economic goals like employment and investment. Types of fiscal policy tools covered are tax policy, government expenditure, and public borrowing.
1. Say's law of markets states that supply creates its own demand and that full employment is the norm in economies.
2. The document outlines the key assumptions and implications of Say's law, including that production generates income to purchase goods, saving and investment automatically equalize, and wages adjust to maintain full employment.
3. Keynes criticized Say's law for failing to account for the possibility of overproduction and unemployment, and argued that demand does not necessarily increase with supply and that intervention may be needed to stimulate demand.
Subsistence theory – wage theories - compensation management - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
This theory propounded by the economists in the 18th century was later explained by David Ricardo.
This theory is based on two assumptions, namely,
(a) The law of diminishing return applies to industry.
(b) There is a rapid increase in population.
This document defines and provides an example of opportunity cost. It explains that opportunity cost refers to the next best alternative forgone in order to pursue a particular option. Specifically, it is the value of the best alternative use of resources that is not chosen. The document uses the example of Robert Frost taking the road less traveled to illustrate how opportunity costs can have a big impact and make all the difference, even if the costs themselves are not quantifiable. Opportunity cost is a key economic concept because it captures the relationship between scarcity and choice when resources are limited.
According to Baumol's theory, managers prioritize sales revenue maximization. He presents static and dynamic models of sales maximization. The static model assumes firms maximize sales or profits within a single period, ignoring future impacts. It shows sales maximizers accept lower profits by selling more units. The dynamic model assumes firms maximize their sales growth rate over time. It uses present value calculations to determine the sales and growth rate that provide the highest total present value of future sales revenues. Both models have limitations in fully capturing real-world cost and demand conditions.
Students should be able to:
Understand the assumptions of perfect competition and be able to explain the behaviour of firms in this market structure.
Understand the significance of firms as price-takers in perfectly competitive markets. An understanding of the meaning of shut-down point is required. The impact of entry into and exit from the industry should be considered.
The accelerator theory states that an increase in demand for consumer goods will lead to an increase in demand for capital goods used to produce those consumer goods. It explains the relationship between consumer goods industries and capital goods industries. The accelerator coefficient is the ratio of change in investment to change in consumption or output. The accelerator theory was introduced by T.N. Carver in 1903 and further developed by economists like Harrod, Solow, Samuelson and Hicks to explain business cycles. It assumes a constant capital-output ratio and elastic supply of credit and resources so investment can adjust to changes in demand.
The document discusses several theories of profit, including:
1. The rent theory of profit which views profit as a reward for superior business ability, similar to rent.
2. The risk bearing theory which sees profit as compensation for undertaking business risks. It notes four types of risks.
3. The uncertainty bearing theory built upon the risk bearing theory but distinguishes between foreseeable risks that can be insured against and unforeseeable or uncertainty risks that warrant profit.
4. The dynamic theory that argues profit results from ongoing changes in factors like population, technology, and business organization that keep the economy in a state of flux.
5. The innovation theory associating profit with successful business innovations in
Profit maximization involves adjusting factors like production costs, sale prices, and output levels to maximize a company's returns. There are two main methods: marginal cost-marginal revenue and total cost-total revenue. Sales maximization aims to generate as much revenue as possible in the short-term, while profit maximization focuses on long-term net income and viability. While revenue does not necessarily mean profits, profit maximization maintains reasonable profit margins over time and positions the business for long-term success by balancing sales growth and value perception. The risks of prioritizing sales include restricting a company's ability to maximize profits in the long run if sales objectives are mismanaged.
The document discusses the law of variable proportions, which examines how output changes when the quantity of one input (the variable factor) is increased while keeping other inputs fixed. It defines the law, lists its assumptions, and explains it using a tabular example of increasing a fixed amount of land with varying labor.

The document discusses various concepts and theories of profit. It defines accounting profit as revenue minus explicit costs, while economic profit subtracts both explicit and implicit opportunity costs. Several theories of profit are outlined, including Walker's view of profit as a reward for exceptional abilities, Clark's theory that profit arises in dynamic economies with technological change, and Schumpeter's theory that profit stems from innovation. The document also discusses monopoly profit and conditions for profit maximization, stating firms aim to produce where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
The other definition simply states that an entrepreneur is someone who works for himself or herself.

Theory of the Firm
1. The document discusses several theories of the firm including the economic theory of profit maximization, behavioral theories such as Simon's satisficing model and Cyert and March's model, and alternative objectives like sales maximization. 2. It also explains key concepts like the firm, industry, and market, and compares accounting profit versus economic profit. 3. The theories aim to explain how firms make decisions and set objectives in different market structures under conditions of uncertainty.
The document discusses improving inventory management systems for a company. It recommends reorganizing the physical layout of stores, tagging and labeling all stock items, and installing new racking and bins. This will help address current problems like uncontrolled stores, inability to find items, and low parts availability. The company has taken action like developing a stores inventory policy, installing a new racking system, and identifying obsolete stock to improve organization and management of spare parts.
Business and profits and its role in societyVineet Murli
The document discusses business and profits, defining a business as an organization designed to provide goods and services to consumers for profit. It notes that while profit generation is the main objective of most private businesses, some are formed as non-profits or cooperatives. The document then examines different measures used to calculate profits, including gross profit, operating profit, net profit, EBITDA, and economic profit. It also discusses the differences between shareholder and stakeholder views of a company and profit.
This document provides an introduction to contemporary managerial finance. It discusses the goal of financial management, which is to maximize the value of owners' equity for for-profit organizations. It also examines agency problems that can arise between shareholders and managers due to conflicting interests. The document outlines different forms of business organization and notes that as businesses grow, the corporate form allows for easier raising of capital. It describes the role of the financial manager is to make decisions that increase stock value for shareholders.
The document discusses the various objectives of a firm, including:
1) Profit maximization, which aims to generate the highest profits for shareholders.
2) Sales maximization, which focuses on selling as much output as possible while earning normal profits.
3) Revenue maximization, which occurs when marginal revenue from additional sales is zero.
4) Managers may also pursue objectives like increasing market share, firm size, or their own utility through salaries and perks.
Schumpeter's theory of entrepreneurship defines the entrepreneur as an innovator who introduces new products, services, production methods, markets or sources of supply. Their innovations disrupt the existing economy and initiate economic development. McClelland's need for achievement theory sees entrepreneurs as driven by a need to achieve and take responsibility for solving problems rather than external incentives like money. Leibenstein's X-efficiency theory argues entrepreneurs improve resource allocation and reduce inefficiencies. Knight's risk bearing theory views profit as the reward entrepreneurs earn for taking on non-insurable risks.

This document contains an assignment for a Managerial Economics course. It includes 5 questions related to concepts in managerial economics. Question 1 asks about the difference between a firm and an industry, and the equilibrium of a firm and industry under perfect competition. Question 2 asks about implicit and explicit costs and actual and opportunity costs. Question 3 provides data to calculate price elasticity of supply. Question 4 asks about monetary policy objectives and instruments. Question 5 explains the relationship between total revenue, average revenue, and marginal revenue under different market conditions.
Ten principles that form the foundations of financial managementNur Dalila Zamri
The document outlines 10 principles that form the foundations of financial management. The first principle discusses the relationship between risk and return, noting that investors will only take on additional risk if there is potential for higher return. The third principle emphasizes that cash flow, not profits, is most important when evaluating investments as cash indicates when money is actually received. The fifth principle explains that it is difficult to find exceptionally profitable projects due to competition driving down prices and profits over time in efficient markets.
Entrepreneurship and small business developmentITNet
This syllabus outlines topics for a course on entrepreneurship and small business management. The objectives are to enable students to understand entrepreneurship and its importance in the economy, how to become an entrepreneur, and the importance of small business management. Topics covered include concepts of entrepreneurship, entrepreneur characteristics, legal issues, building a business plan, financial considerations, marketing, production, and human resource management for small businesses. The overview defines entrepreneurship as starting new organizations in response to opportunities and discusses risks entrepreneurs take in starting new ventures.
The key responsibilities of corporate finance include maximizing shareholder wealth through achieving high returns on investments and low-cost financing. Projects are evaluated using discounted cash flow analysis rather than accounting profits. A company can be restructured through an IPO, going private, or mergers and acquisitions seeking synergies or undervalued targets. Corporate governance aims to balance interests of stakeholders to maximize shareholder value in efficient markets.
Corporations obtain financial resources from two main sources: shareholders and debt holders. Shareholders are concerned with maximizing the firm's value and their return, while debt holders focus on the firm's ability to repay principal and interest. There are agency problems that arise between these groups due to the separation of ownership and control of corporations. Managers may make decisions that benefit themselves over shareholders. Debt holders also conflict with shareholders if risky projects are undertaken that could jeopardize the firm's solvency. Efficient solutions aim to align the interests of all parties.
This document provides an introduction to managerial economics. It defines managerial economics as the application of economic theory and methods to business decision-making. The scope of managerial economics is broader than business economics as it deals with decision problems of both business and non-business organizations. Managerial economics uses both microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis to solve organizational problems. It considers factors like profit maximization, costs, revenues, and demand analysis. Firms aim to maximize profits but may also consider other objectives like long-term value and social responsibility.
Here are potential responses to your questions:
1. Based on the information provided, Bags of Luck is more likely a managerial-controlled firm rather than owner-controlled. This is because there seems to be a divergence between what the owners want (normal profits) and what the production department wants (continue manufacturing). In a managerial-controlled firm, managers may pursue their own objectives rather than maximizing profits for owners.
2. The objectives of Bags of Luck are not clearly aligned across departments. The owners want normal profits, production wants to keep manufacturing, sales wants to adopt new technology and clear outdated inventory. So different departments likely have different and sometimes conflicting objectives.
3. Three solutions to help resolve Bags
This document provides an overview of the sixth edition of the textbook "Cost and Management Accounting: An Introduction" by Colin Drury. The book aims to introduce students pursuing a one-year cost and management accounting course to the theory and practice of cost and management accounting. It covers topics such as cost accumulation, cost behavior, decision making, budgeting, and performance measurement. The book is intended for students in foundation/intermediate professional programs and undergraduate business programs.
Queuing theory is the mathematics of waiting lines and is useful for predicting system performance. It models processes where customers arrive, wait for service, are serviced, and leave. Key elements include the arrival process, queue structure, and service system. Common applications include telecommunications, traffic control, and health services. Characteristics like arrival patterns, queue discipline, and service times are analyzed. Models can be deterministic or probabilistic and include metrics like average wait times, number of customers in line, and server utilization. Managing queues effectively requires understanding customer wait times and segmenting customer flows.

It will discuss the assumptions and formulas for the capital market line and security market line. The capital market line shows expected returns based on portfolio risk, while the security market line shows expected individual asset returns based on systematic risk. The capital asset pricing model uses the concept of beta to calculate the expected return of an asset based on its risk relative to the market.

- Portfolio management involves determining the optimal mix of assets to achieve an investor's objectives while balancing risk and return. The key objectives include capital growth, security, liquidity, consistent returns, and tax planning.
- Modern portfolio theory, developed by Harry Markowitz, introduced the concept of efficient portfolios which maximize return for a given level of risk. The theory uses statistical measures like variance and standard deviation to quantify risk.
- Variance and standard deviation are commonly used to measure the risk of individual assets and portfolios. The variance of a portfolio is calculated using the covariance between asset returns to determine the portfolio's total risk.
This document provides an introduction to cost accounting, including its objectives, importance, and key concepts. It discusses the emergence of cost accounting as a field and defines it as a method for accumulating, classifying, and interpreting cost information to aid in planning, control, and decision making. The document also outlines the advantages of cost accounting for management, employees, creditors, and consumers. It emphasizes that cost accounting is important for controlling costs, measuring efficiency, budgeting, and determining prices. Finally, it discusses essential conditions and factors for installing an effective cost accounting system, such as having efficient material and wage payment controls.
E-commerce involves conducting business electronically over the internet. There are three main types: business-to-business, business-to-consumer, and consumer-to-consumer. E-commerce allows companies to reach a global market at low cost and speed up information flow. However, threats include security issues, theft of intellectual property, fraud, and invasion of consumer privacy. Businesses must ensure transactions are safe while being aware of legal and taxation implications in different jurisdictions.
The document discusses various types of telecommunication channels and transmission media. It describes simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex channels. It also explains different transmission media including guided media like twisted pair wires, coaxial cables, fiber-optic cables and broadband over power lines. Wireless media such as short range options of NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and infrared as well as medium and wide area options are also outlined. Finally, it briefly discusses telecommunications hardware including modems, multiplexers and switches.
The document traces the history and development of calculation and computing devices from ancient abacuses through modern computers. It describes inventions like the Pascal machine (1642), which could add and subtract, and Leibnitz's machine (1671), which could perform multiplication and division. Charles Babbage proposed analytical engines in the 1820s but they were not built. Ada Lovelace programmed algorithms for Babbage's proposed machines, making her the first computer programmer. The first modern computers included the Mark I (1944), the ABC (1946), and the ENIAC (1946). The stored program concept was introduced by the EDVAC in 1950. Transistors were introduced in the 1950s, leading to smaller,

ADVICE TO ALL EMPLOYEES
1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural home or urban home. Building a house at 50 is not an achievement. Don't get used to government houses. This comfort is so dangerous. Let all your family have good time in your house.
2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue. Make your family a priority.
3. Don't chase promotions. Master your skills and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that's fine if they don't, stay positive to your personal.
development.
4. Avoid office or work gossip. Avoid things that tarnish your name or reputation. Don't join the bandwagon that backbites your bosses and colleagues. Stay away from negative gatherings that have only people as their agenda.
5. Don't ever compete with your bosses. You will burn your fingers. Don't compete with your colleagues, you will fry your brain.
6. Ensure you have a side business. Your salary will not sustain your needs in the long run.
7. Save some money. Let it be deducted automatically from your payslip.
8. Borrow a loan to invest in a business or to change a situation not to buy luxury. Buy luxury from your profit.
9. Keep your life,marriage and family private. Let them stay away from your work. This is very important.
10. Be loyal to yourself and believe in your work. Hanging around your boss will alienate you from your colleagues and your boss may finally dump you when he leaves.
11. Retire early. The best way to plan for your exit was when you received the employment letter. The other best time is today. By 40 to 50 be out.
12. Join work welfare and be an active member always. It will help you a lot when any eventuality occurs.
13.Take leave days utilize them by developing yr future home or projects..usually what you do during yr leave days is a reflection of how you'll live after retirement..If it means you spend it all holding a remote control watching series on Zee world, expect nothing different after retirement.
14. Start a project whilst still serving or working. Let your project run whilst at work and if it doesn't do well, start another one till it's running viably. When your project is viably running then retire to manage your business. Most people or pensioners fail in life because they retire to start a project instead of retiring to run a project.
15. Pension money is not for starting a project or buy a stand or build a house but it's money for your upkeep or to maintain yourself in good health. Pension money is not for paying school fees or marrying a young wife but to look after yourself.
16. Always remember, when you retire never be a case study for living a miserable life after retirement but be a role model for colleagues to think of retiring too.
17. Don't retire just because you are finished or you are now a burden to the company and just wait for your day t

CRYPTOCURRENCY REVOLUTIONIZING THE FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE AND SHAPING THE FUTURE...itsfaizankhan091
Cryptocurrency, a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security, has revolutionized the financial landscape. Originating with Bitcoin's inception in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrencies have grown from niche curiosities to mainstream financial instruments, reshaping how we think about money, transactions, and the global economy.
The birth of Bitcoin marked the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and controlled by central banks, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology. This technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability of transactions, fundamentally challenging the centralized financial systems that have dominated for centuries.
Bitcoin was conceived as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, aimed at providing an alternative to the traditional banking system plagued by inefficiencies, high fees, and lack of transparency. The underlying blockchain technology, a distributed ledger maintained by a network of nodes, ensures that every transaction is recorded and cannot be altered, thus providing a secure and transparent financial system.

CRYPTOCURRENCY: REVOLUTIONIZING THE FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE AND SHAPING THE FUTURE
Cryptocurrency: Revolutionizing the Financial Landscape and Shaping the Future
Cryptocurrency, a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security, has revolutionized the financial landscape. Originating with Bitcoin's inception in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrencies have grown from niche curiosities to mainstream financial instruments, reshaping how we think about money, transactions, and the global economy.
#### The Genesis of Cryptocurrency
The birth of Bitcoin marked the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and controlled by central banks, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology. This technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability of transactions, fundamentally challenging the centralized financial systems that have dominated for centuries.
Bitcoin was conceived as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, aimed at providing an alternative to the traditional banking system plagued by inefficiencies, high fees, and lack of transparency. The underlying blockchain technology, a distributed ledger maintained by a network of nodes, ensures that every transaction is recorded and cannot be altered, thus providing a secure and transparent financial system.
#### The Proliferation of Altcoins
Following Bitcoin's success, thousands of alternative cryptocurrencies, or altcoins, have emerged. Each of these altcoins aims to improve upon Bitcoin or serve specific purposes within the digital economy. Notable examples include Ethereum, which introduced smart contracts – self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement
Understanding the True Cost of Employment in 32 European CountriesBoundless HQ
All employers know that the cost to employ someone spans far beyond the gross salary. While you may understand the cost involved in your HQ country, getting to grips with that across borders can be a very significant undertaking.
To provide some clarity on this complexity, we hosted a webinar will be led by Dee Coakley, CEO and Co-Founder at Boundless, who brings extensive experience in managing cross-border employment.
During the webinar, we discussed:
1. The key components that contribute to the total cost of employment, from employer insurance to statutory benefits and other deductions
2. Detailed comparisons of employment costs across 32 European countries
3. Insights into how different tax structures affect the take-home pay of employees
4. The "cost-to-pay" ratio, providing a clearer understanding of what employers pay versus what employees receive
This session is designed for HR, Finance and Payroll professionals, looking to navigate the complexities of employment costs across borders.
PFMS, India's Public Financial Management System, revolutionizes fund tracking and distribution, ensuring transparency and efficiency. It enables real-time monitoring, direct benefit transfers, and comprehensive reporting, significantly improving financial management and reducing fraud across government schemes.
2. Nature of Profits:
Profit is a reward of the entrepreneur, rather of the entrepreneurial functions. Profit differs from the
return on other factors in 3 important respects:
a. Profit is a residual income not contractual or certain income & not contractual or certain income as
in the case of other factors
b. There are much greater fluctuations in profits then in the rewards of the other factors.
c. Profits maybe negative, where as rent, wages & interest must always be positive.
According to professor Marshall “Profit are the earning of management”
According to Benham “Profits have their origin in uncertainty”
According to professor Hawley “Profit is the reward of bearing risk”
3. Gross Profit:
Gross profit is the profit a company makes after deducting the costs associated
with making and selling its products, or the costs associated with providing its
services. Gross profit will appear on a company's income statement, and can be
calculated with this formula: Gross profit = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold.
Apart from pure profit, the following are the main constituents of gross profit:
1. Interest on entrepreneur’s own capital
2. Rent of land own by the entrepreneur
3. Entrepreneur wages of management or superintendence
4. Reward of the Entrepreneur as risk taker
5. Gain as superior bargainer
6. Monopoly Gains
7. Conjunctural Gains
4. Pure or Net Profit:
The profit of a company after operating expenses and all other charges including taxes, interest and
depreciation have been deducted from total revenue. Also called net earnings or net income. If
expenses and charges exceed revenue, the company incurs a net loss.
Theories of Profits
Profit as rent of ability:
The theory, Walker regards profits as rent of ability. Just as there are different grades of land, there
are grades of different entrepreneurs. The least efficient entrepreneur, who must remain in the field
of production to meet the current demand, just recovers his cost of production. Above him are
entrepreneur of superior ability. Just as rent arises because of the differential advantages, enjoyed by
a superior land over the marginal land, profit also is the reward for differential ability of the
entrepreneur over the marginal entrepreneur or the no profit entrepreneur. Profits are thus like rent
and, like rent, they do not enter into price.
5. Criticism of profit as rent of ability theory:
1. This theory has the same weakness as Ricardo’s Theory of Rent
2. The theory, moreover, does not explain the real nature of profits; It Marely
provides at best measure of profits.
3. It is wrong to say, again, that profits do not enter into price
4. Some entrepreneurs may earn high profits and others may suffer heavy losses
5. Finally, the theory even fails to explain the size of profit
6. Wages theory of profits:
The connection between profit and wages can be looked at from 2 points of view:
1. The socialists regard profits as simply deduction from the produce of the workers labor. According
to this view, profits are not justified; because their earn at the expense of the wage earners
2. The second view is represented by professor Taussig. He regards profits as simply a particular kind
of wages.
Now consider Taussig’s view that profits are merely wages for a special kind of labor. “Profits”, say
Taussig, “are best regarded as simply a form of wages.
7. Criticism of Wages theory of profits:
The position taken up by Taussig, cannot be accepted. There are fundamental differences between
wages and profits:
1. Profits are essentially a reward for assuming risks of business
2. There is much greater element of chance gaining profit than in wages
3. Part of profits, and in some cases, a major part, is due to imperfections of competition
8. Innovation theory of profits:
In the dynamic changes, which give rise to profit. According to the dynamic theory of profits
Joseph Schumpeter has singled out for special treatment the part played by innovations. The daring
and the dynamic entrepreneurs continue to hit at one innovation or another, keeping their business
ahead of others and thus make a handsome profits.
Schumpeter has given the term innovation very wide meaning. Discovery of a new material or a
new technique of production resulting in the lowering of the cost of production or improving the
quality of the production is an innovation.
Innovations maybe 2 types:
1. Those which change the production function and reduce the cost of production
2. Those innovations which stimulate the demand for the product, which change the demand or
utility function.
9. Criticism of Innovation Theory of Profits:
Schumpeter innovation theory can be criticized on the same ground as Clark’s dynamic theory:
1. Schumpeter also like Clark ignores uncertainty as a source of profit.
2. He also denies that risk bearing plays any role in the determination of profit.
Risk Bearing Theory of Profits:
Most people do mind the risk which makes them hesitate to make plunge in business. The greater
the risk the higher must be the expected profit in order to induce to start the business. All
businesses are more or less speculative and unless the risk taker is going to be amply rewarded,
business will not be started.
Drucker Mentions four kinds of risk:
1. Replacement
2. Risk proper
3. Uncertainty
4. Obsolescence
10. Criticism of Risk bearing theory of profits:
1. Entrepreneurs cannot in their entirely be contributed to the element of risk.
2. Risks are borne, but because the superior entrepreneur are able to reduce them
3. It cannot be denied that a great deal of pure profit is the reward for risk bearing
Uncertainty – Bearing Theory of Profits:
The theory, according to Prof. Knight, it is uncertainty bearing rather than risk taking which is the
special function of the entrepreneur and leads to profit. We have seen that there are certain risks
which are foreseen and provided against. Risk of death and of accident like fire ship sinking are
statistically determinable. There incidents is measurable. The insurance companies undertake these
risks in return of premium paid to them. The payments of this premium are included in the cost of
production. The entrepreneur gets no profit on account of these risks. Hence, risk taking is not the
function of the entrepreneur but of the insurance companies. The entrepreneur gets remuneration
for bearing uncertainties and nothing for the risk which have been foreseen, the incidents of which
is on the insurance companies.
11. Criticism of Bearing Theory of Profits:
The theory of uncertainty bearing, as a cause of profit, has been criticized on the following
grounds:
1. Uncertainty is the only factor that limits the supply of entrepreneur
2. Uncertainty bearing is not the only function of the entrepreneur
3. Uncertainty bearing cannot be elevated to the status of a factor of production
4. Knight’s theory does not seem to have much relevance to the real world business man
continue to estimate profits ex-ante in defiance of this theory
Conclusion Regarding Theories of profit:
The question arises: Which theory shall we accept? How do profit arise?
12. Monopoly and Profit
In economics a monopoly is a firm that lacks any viable competition, and is the sole producer of the
industry's product. But since the monopoly firm does not have to worry about losing customers to
competitors, it can set a Monopoly price that is significantly higher than its marginal cost, allowing it to
have an economic profit that is significantly higher than the normal profit that is typically found in a
perfectly competitive industry. The high economic profit obtained by a monopoly firm is referred to as
monopoly profit.
13. Critical Evaluation of Monopoly Theory
of Profit
It can't be denied that monopoly is a very important source of Profit. The frims
operating under monopoly or monopolistic competition with a downward sloping
demand curve and so enjoying price setting power, are able to make positive
profits. But the assertion of prof.Kalecki, that monopoly is the sole source or
determinant of Profit can't be accepted. Dynamic changes innovation by the bold
entrepreneurs and uncertainty also contribute to profit. In any theory of Profits,
the influence of this factors can't be ignored.
14. Do Profits Tend To Equality?
Whether profits tend to equality it'll depend on condition that
prevails. In a state of equilibrium, profit in the sense of wages of
superintendence will be equalized. Pure profit will disappear.
Absence of uncertainty. In a state of society, in which charge is
present but the factor of uncertainty is absent, profit will tend to
equality about the normal level as already explained.
15. Social Function Of Profit
It is commonly thought that the profit is for the entrepreneur ;it is his concern,
and it is at the expense of the consumer or the general public. It is supposed that
there is an inherent conflict between the interests of the individual entrepreneur
and social welfare.
But this view is a mere delusion. There is an underlying harmony between what
the entrepreneur gets and what the society gives. Whatever the profit performs it
is a very useful and essential function.
16. Entrepreneurs sometimes speak of their duty to promote the welfare
of the society. They say their duty is not to make profit but to make
the society happy. But the foremost duty of an economic enterprise is
economic performance, which means the prevention of the resources
entrusted to it.
There preservation of these resources is the corporate enterprise's
first obligation to itself and to society.
17. In the battle of survival, it's the duty of each individual enterprise to
try to cover
*current cost of business :
*the future cost of staying in business arising out of four kinds of risks already
mentioned.
In addition to this there are two more function of Profit:
*It must have a social point of view.
* Must bear the social burden and bear the cost of social service.
18. Marginal Productivity and Profits:
Does a marginal productivity theory apply to profit? Yes or no?
If the answer is yes then HOW?
If the answer is no then WHY?
19.
20. Macro Theory of Distribution:
We have discussed so far micro theories of distribution i.e how wages is determined in an
individual firm or industry, rent of the particular piece of land and profit of an individual firm or
an entrepreneur. But we should also understand how national income is shared among the
aggregative shares of rent, wages, interest and profits. This is Macro theory.
The Ricardian or Classical Theory:
The ricardian theory makes use of 2 principles in income distribution:
1. Marginal principle
2. Surplus principle
In the Ricardian theory, the marginal product is assume to be equal and to the sum of wages
and profits. Thus in the Ricardian macro-economic model there is a continuous tendency towards
a declining rate of profit, with growth in output and employment.
21. The Marxian Theory:
As professor Kaldor observes the Marxian theory is an adaptation of Ricardo’s surplus theory.
According to Marx, the value of a commodity is determined by the labor time necessary for its
production. But labor produces more than the value of its labor power i.e more than what is
necessary for maintaining the minimum subsistence standard. Hence, a surplus emerges which is
expropriated by the capitalists in the form of profits. This is Marx’s theory of surplus value.
The Marxian theory of profits Karl Marx referred his surplus value as nothing but the profits earn
by the capitalists. According to him
Use value – Exchange value = Surplus value or Profit.
Use value:
Use value is nothing but the total value (utility) created or produced.
22. Exchange value:
Exchange value is the amount of money paid to workers as wages or (subsistence) and the surplus value is the
pocketed by the capitalists.
Marx said the capitalist exploits the labor by 100%, in other words, if the total value created is Rs 100 then Rs 50 is
paid as exchange value and Rs 50 is the capitalist profits.
Total “C”
Fixed capital
Variable Capital
V = wages
Surplus Value
Profits = S
Profit = S / (C+V)
50 50 50 50 / 100 = 50%
100 50 50 50 / 150 = 33.33%
150 50 50 50 / 200 = 25%
200 50 50 50 / 250 = 20%
Note: Here the assumption of constant V and S is taken into account.
23. Kalecki’s Degree of Monopoly Theory:
According to Kalecki, the distribution of national income into profits and wages depends upon the
degree of monopoly in the economy. The degree of monopoly is a firm is measured by (P-A).
In order to get the gross capitalists income of economy as a whole we have to sum up the gross
capitalist incomes of all firms which may be represented by the formula ex (P-A). If we divide it by T
(aggregate turnover).
We get macro degree of monopoly = Gross Capitalist income / Aggregate Turnover
