The return on assets calculator is created to help you determine if you are wisely using the assets that are controlled by your business. The calculation is made in several steps.

The first step is to determine your average inventory for the past year. Enter in the ending inventory for each of the past 12 months.

The second step is to total your operating expenses for a 12 month period. Do that in the "Annual Operating Expenses" section.

The third section is where you input the amount of assets at year end. After that you input your cash sales and charge sales. Charge sales are not bank card sales, but are from 'house' or corporate charge accounts.

The input of 'cost of goods sold' should be from a year end profit and loss statement. Miscellaneous business income is often for income from investments, dividends from buying groups, or rent collected for space that is provided to other businesses.

AdvisoriES

The advisory shares the top five answers, for which the majority require the skills that only a human can have. It is not artificual intelligence or software that deals with customer service management.

Top Story

It has been many years since we received an email from Ron of Arrow Floor Covering. Yet we still read it time and again as there are words of wisdom in his message.

 

Would the next generation want to work in your small business?

Article of the Month

Owning a small business has a lot of similarities to owning a small business. Not so much because of the hours you spent with the business, but because of the commitment you are making to yourself, your employees and your customers.

 

The April Article of the Month is titled, "With this ring, I thee wed".


Book of the Month

Everything in the April edition of Small Business News has a tie to the connection of you and your employees to your business. The same is true with this month's book suggestion which is, "Hit Refresh" by Satya Nadella, chairman and CEO of Microsoft.

All this plus the Internet Tool for Your Business and a staff incentive idea for your business.
