Differentiate between revenue and expenses.

What will be an ideal response?


Revenue (also called sales income) is the value received by a business in return for services performed or goods sold. A business receives revenue in the form of cash or accounts receivable.
Expenses, such as the costs of paying people to work for a small business (or for goods or services provided to a small business), include such items as materials, wages, insurance, utilities, transportation, depreciation, taxes, supplies, and advertising. As these costs are incurred, they are deducted from revenue.
