Revenue is a good term to know. Revenue is defined as the overall amount of money a company receives. It is calculated as the price of goods or services sold times the number of units sold. Ultimately, costs and expenses are subtracted from revenue. For example, if you sold 20 hot dogs at $5 per hot dog, your revenue would be $100 dollars.
