*Revenues are reported at gross less allowance for returns and discounts given
Ex: Sales, COGS, SG&A
What does Net Concept mean?
Gains and Losses are reported at net amount. These are non-operating costs since they are not related to every day normal business.
Proceeds are greater than or less than NBV.
Ex: Sale of non-inventory items, write downs, write offs, etc.
