WHAT IS EQUITY IN BUSINESS AND HOW TO CALCULATE IT

Image
 Hello, A few years ago, I was going through the financial reports of my business and was trying to make sense of it all. During my sneak peek, I got a chance to look at the business equity. As a young and amateur business owner, I was not sure about this term. So, I asked my bookkeeper about it. He told me that it is the net worth of the business after its debts have been paid off.

 Forget the Holy Land. If Noah were looking for a place to drop anchor, this would be his dream destination. Here in Australia — at least when it comes to business — we love to operate in pairs. There are a couple of airlines, a duo of food retailers, a pair of steelmakers, two resource giants and just a handful of banks. And let's be honest, the only reason we still have four financial institutions is because — despite years of agitation — they haven't been allowed to hook up into a cosy couple.

 Tourism Central Australia (TCA) is reeling from another round of cuts to Qantas seats in and out of the region less than a week after the national carrier announced a billion-dollar profit.TCA chief executive Danial Rochford said Qantas had confirmed to him it was planning to cut another 30,000 seats during the 2023 peak tourism season.

He said the seats would be cut from in and outbound flights for Alice Springs and Yulara between March and October.
