    Words cannot describe how appreciative I am for you doing such a series, slightly off Excel but delving into actual Finance principles. We don't even work for the same company, but I'd nominate you as "Employee of the Month" just for that!

    I cannot say enough about how good this lady is. I have watched to over 100 such videos. Many of them drag it out to fill 20 minutes. Turns out, if the videos are longer, they make more money. This lady stays to the point makes it clear. Maybe I am biased, because I have an accent too.

  • @prateshramjohn
    @prateshramjohn 3 роки тому +1

    Accountant here, excellent video for beginners.
    Just to add some context to apple's excellent Cash conversion cycle; when companies outsource manufacturing, raw materials/component parts are not reflected on the statements and therefore only finished products are reflected as 'Inventory'. Meaning the inventory days becomes much smaller.
    Additionally, we're all aware that Apple stocks are high valued. They have a market capitalization of about 2trillion.
    Market capital cap refers to the total value of all shares at market price.
    The value of stocks reflected on the balance sheet is par. That means its the price the stock was issued at by Apple to the public. The price of Apple stocks on the secondary market(stock market) is higher than par because investors value the stock to be worth more than it was issued at.

  • @cnieberd6072
    @cnieberd6072 3 роки тому +3

    Great intro into Apple's financial statements, Leila: showing payable days at 83 means for you as a supplier you need a huge amount of cash for prefinancing your production while making business under hard limits (cost, quality control) with Apple. The guys in Los Altos are collecting cash from customers and suppliers. Didn't know that yet.

    • @henrylau116
      @henrylau116 3 роки тому

      I already know these for years now. To a supplier, Apple is a "bad" customer as they squeeze them the cost, and demand quality n long payment term. However, many suppliers can't lose Apple as this is their biggest customer. And this Tier-1 suppliers, use the same "method" and demand the same to their Tier-2 suppliers and so on. And this is the real world.... What surprise me is that they are paying their suppliers in such a long time........

    Nice introduction for understanding of financials.. one thing I want to add is that the important thing is cash position. Thats why we analyze both BS and PL. Companies can increase its sales and make profit; yet, what about collections? How the company sustain its business operatins? How operations are financed? Thus, please learn how to read cash flow statement, because everything is about cash flow.. and maybe leyla can make a video how to read cash flow statement..
