33 mins, 1996        [password required] Money is the life-blood of a business. We look at how it works in one company - Avalon Travel, a holiday tour operator. We explore where the business got its initial start-up finance and describe the indirect and direct costs which it has to meet in order to stay in business. We explain key documents like orders and invoices. We see how Avalon prices its holidays and what cost-plus pricing means. The finance director explains how they calculate the firm's break-even point. We explore Avalon's trading cycle and what's meant by the added value. Finally, Avalon makes a profit - but what does it do with it?
