- consz 10y agoWhy would you compare revenue to income?
- dreamsofdragons 10y agoWhy wouldn't you?
- deadbeef404 10y agoWhat would be a better comparison?
- mikeash 10y agoRevenue is the money that comes in, ignoring expenses. Income is the money that comes in, ignoring expenses. They are exactly equivalent.
- lotsofpulp 10y agoIn the context of discussing a company's finances, income is usually short for net income, which is also known as earnings or profit, or revenue minus expenses.
- mikeash 10y agoIn this case, they're comparing a company's revenue to a person's income, so "income" as applies to a company's finances is irrelevant.
- kayoone 10y agoAt 234B apples 2015 revenue is 234x this investment. The cheapest macbbok air is 899 which would put your income at 210k !? not bad, who do you work for ? :)
