Thread: Income-revenue-profit-earning

Do you know the differences in Spanish among these terms?

Income-revenue-profit-earning
thanks!

Gracias Hebe!!!!

Those are good translations, but I think it greatly depends on usage, even the company's own usage on its balance sheets, as one might say ingresos and another utilidades, refering to income.

Please, can you tell how to say: "utilidades liquidas y realizadas" in English?.
Thanks for your help. karysol

My suggestion is:
realized and liquidated assets

A profit in english would be considered to already be cash so you wouldn't say "liquid profit" because you would be saying "cashed in cash". On the other hand, if you have an asset, like a house or stocks, you could cash those in or "liquidate" them.

I tried to respond two times but was blocked for some reason. Thanks for the web sites. Liquid profits would be "cash" in laymens terms. I did find "liquid profits realized" on my site also.
