CLIP 1: COSTS: AN INTRODUCTION (8 mins)
Vital to commercial success is how well businesses control their costs. These come in two basic types: direct and indirect. But in the real world classifying costs is rarely clear-cut. Manufacturer Blakeway Ltd divides its company up into cost and profit centres to help it monitor how different parts of its business are performing financially. But there's disagreement inside the company about how to act on the figures.
CLIP 2: COSTS & WORKING CAPITAL AT ACME WHISTLES (7 mins)
Acme Whistles in Birmingham has been manufacturing products for 130 years. Much has changed at Acme in that time - but covering its costs, both fixed and variable, remains a priority. Making sales doesn't mean cash in hand. They have to wait to be paid and they need money to keep going in the meantime - working capital. There are hidden costs, too - such as depreciation.
CLIP 3: PROFIT: WHAT IS IT? (8 mins)
Successful businesses devote themselves to making profit - but what is profit and how do you calculate it? Why is working out the cost of sales so important and what's meant by matching? What's the difference between gross profit, operating profit and the "bottom line"? This clip clearly explains the calculations and why they're relevant to business.
CLIP 4: HOW DO WE USE PROFIT? (5 mins)
How does a business decide what to do with its profit? Harry and Bee Payne, owners of small computer company Logical Friends, plough their profits back into the business. But Blakeway Ltd, a much bigger operation, has to give part of its profits to its outside shareholders as a return on their investment. Is this in the long-term interests of the business? And what about profit quality? Was Logical Friends' decision to invest its money in houses a good idea?

Much of what businesses do is a result of forces outside their control - external factors. What are these external factors and how do they affect businesses? This film uses real business case studies to demonstrate the importance of P-E-S-T - political, economic, social and technological factors.
POLITICAL & ECONOMIC: People often complain about the European Union but money from Europe has helped business boom at the Royal Albion Hotel. They've benefited from a political factor in the shape of a grant designed to help areas of high unemployment. Meanwhile, economic factors influenced famous model train maker Hornby Hobbies to close down its British factory and move its manufacturing to China. Hornby's done well - but what about the social costs of their move?
SOCIAL & TECHNOLOGICAL: The Happy Elephant jewelry company is making sales from a social trend called the "New Age". More people are now buying their stones because they believe they have mystical powers. On the other hand, times have been hard for a traditional off-licence called the Bottleneck. But now a technological factor, in the shape of the internet, is helping them gain new customers.
THE RETAIL PARK: But external factors are rarely clear-cut. How will a big new, out-of-town shopping centre affect the high street shops? The local MP argues it will create employment and prosperity. But existing retailers fear the new development will take away their business and create a ghost town.
