1. Survey your consumers/customers.

Why waste time on something no one wants or
needs.

3. Determine the cost, selling price, and profit for
each item sold or service provided.
COST—how much you must pay for an item or
how much it costs you to provide a service
You buy a box of 24 pencils for $1.00 to sell
individually. What is your cost?
number of items total cost
24
$1.00

SELLING PRICE—how much your customer will
pay for an item/service
You must determine how much someone would be
willing to pay, but your selling price must
always be greater than your cost.
If it costs you $0.04 per pencil to buy them, what
would be a reasonable selling price?

PROFIT—the amount of money you earn by selling
an item
PROFIT = SELLING PRICE — COST
If you sell the pencil for $0.10 which you bought for $0.04,
your profit would be how much?
You must decide if the profit you make selling something is worth the time, energy, and money that it costs you.

You must increase the cost of an item
to cover added (hidden) costs.
Example: If you are selling hot chocolate, you must buy the hot chocolate packet, the water, a cup, and a spoon.
If you are selling coffee, you must buy the coffee, the water, cream, sugar, the cup, and the stirrer.

Not only are their hidden costs, but there are also
overhead costs. Overhead is also known as the
business’s operating expenses.
Overhead costs may include…
building/rent employee salaries/benefits
insurance utilities
advertising travel expense

Liabilities are debts or amounts that your business owes to others
What you owe to others is called your accounts payable. Those you owe debts to are your creditors.
Remember that we are responsible to pay our debts. Psalm 37:21 says, “The wicked borrow and do not repay.”

Your business’s capital is also called its net worth or your owner’s equity.
You can determine your business’s capital by
subtracting liabilities from assets.
Capital = Assets — Liabilities

Inventory is a listing of the value and quantity of all of the items you have in stock.
Most business’s keep track of their inventory and check its accuracy at least once a month.
That way, you are away of how much of your assets are in inventory, when you may need to reorder items, and that you have accounted for all of the items that you should have.
To calculate your inventory, multiply how many of
each item you have by that item’s worth.
