The Small Business Admin
istration has come up with a
darned good question for less
than-titanic businessmen. 1t Is:
Are you kidding yourself
about your profits?"
The SBA has published q
leafiet with that title. In doing
1t, 1t has recognized a situation
accountants and business ad-
visers have long been conscious
of-most small enterprisers
don't know how they are doing,
Many don't know whether
they are making a profit: many
do not know how much their
gains or losses are.
Some do not know whether
they are growing or wasting
away. They are unable to an
alyze the effects Of imitation on
their store or shop.
Overlooks Costs
Let's take specific cases. not
out Of the SBA leaflet but from
real life:
Enterpriser A is convinced he
Is making money hand over fist
and he is spending what he
thinks are profits with a free
hand. True. about 81, 900 more
comes in every week than goes
out. That looks like $50, 1000 in
profits before taxes each year
But he does not realize his ma
chinery is being used up.
It cost him $4,000 when hi
started in business, but in q few
years it viii cost him 100000
to replace. If he were building
a reserve Of around $4,000 Q
year. he would be making less
than he now imagines. One oil
these years he will 60 broke be.
cause he won't be able to buy
modern replacement machines
Enterpriser B insists he Il
losing money although his &C.
countants say he is wrong. HI
keeps on firing accountants, but
all Of them tell him the same
thing. They say he Is making
$4,000 a year and must pay
taxes on that. They tell him
that the $4,000 a year is pay
ing of on machinery, the $780,
600 he is paying on his building
and the $4,000 he is paying or
the principal of his bank loar
are all coming out of profits
He says, "All I know is that
