As the owner of a small business, you have decided to apply for a loan to expand your locations. Information that you most likely will need to
provide to the lender include all but:
a. current sales and expense figures.
b. projected sales and expense figures.
c. the cost of the expansion.
d. the average value of homes in your neighborhood.

Sales revenue is the income received by a company from its sales of goods or the provision of services.  In accounting, the terms “sales” and “revenue” can be, and often are, used interchangeably to mean the same thing. It is important to note that revenue does not necessarily mean cash received. A portion of sales revenue may be paid in cash and a portion may be paid on credit, through such means as accounts receivables.

Sales revenue can be listed on the income statement as either the gross revenue amount or net revenue. Net revenue includes all deductions for the return of goods, the possibility of undeliverable merchandise and the expense for unrecoverable accounts receivables (also known as “bad debt expense”, which flows into the balance sheet as the allowance for doubtful accounts).

Gross revenue, on the other hand, does not include these deductions. The gross revenue presentation will have the deductions listed below gross revenue, and a subtotal for net revenue below that.
