 Revenue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Revenue is often referred to as the “top line” due to its position on the income statement at the very top.
Revenue is often simplified in economics or basic finance projections to “Price x Quantity” (the price of a good times the number of goods sold) though it is rarely this simple in actuality.
Revenue, like all income statement accounts, can only be presented in terms of a period, for example, the revenues a company earned between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005.
