Like sing equipment to manufacture a product, incurring losses to natural disaster

An inflow of assets resulting from the sale of goods and services by a business is called “revenue”. An increase in revenue will cause an increase in the income period, which in turn results in an increase in the retained earnings.

Asset: something that the firm owns that has future value
Liability: an obligation owed by the company
