Costs are business expenses. Remember 'FVT': Fixed costs (stay same, e.g. rent), Variable costs (change with output, e.g. raw materials), Total costs = Fixed + Variable.
成本 是企业支出。记忆 "FVT"：固定成本 (Fixed costs, 如租金)、变动成本 (Variable costs, 如原材料)、总成本 (Total costs) = 固定 + 变动。

Cash flow is the movement of money in and out of a business. It is not the same as profit.
现金流 是企业资金的流入与流出，与利润不同。
A cash flow forecast predicts future cash inflows and outflows. Key terms: Net cash flow = Inflows − Outflows.
现金流量预测 预估未来的现金流入与流出。关键术语：净现金流 (Net cash flow) = 流入 − 流出。
nce is cash at the start of the period. Closing balance = Opening balance + Net cash flow.
期初余额是期初现金。期末余额 = 期初余额 + 净现金流。
Negative cash flow for a long period can lead to insolvency – when a business cannot pay its debts. Think 'Cash dries up'.
长期负现金流可能导致破产 (insolvency)——企业无力偿债。联想 "现金枯竭"。
Memorise the cash flow story: 'Open the door, let Net Flow in, and Close it securely'. (Opening balance, Net cash flow, Closing balance)
用故事记现金流：开门迎净流，再安全关闭。(期初余额，净现金流，期末余额)
8. Break-even Analysis | 盈亏平衡分析
Break-even point is the level of output where total revenue equals total costs, so the business makes neither profit nor loss.
盈亏平衡点 是总收入等于总成本时的产量，此时企业既不盈利也不亏损。
Break-even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price per unit − Variable Cost per unit)
盈亏平衡点（单位） = 固定成本 ÷ (单价 − 单位变动成本)
The denominator is called contribution per unit – the amount each unit contributes towards covering fixed costs and then profit.
分母称为单位贡献毛益 (contribution per unit)，即每个单位对覆盖固定成本及利润的贡献。
Margin of safety = Actual sales − Break-even sales. It shows how much sales can fall before a loss is made.
安全边际 = 实际销量 − 盈亏平衡销量。它表明销量下降多少才会亏损。
Use the 'B-F-C' triangle: Break-even, Fixed costs, Contribution. (Break-even = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution).
用 "B-F-C" 三角记忆：盈亏平衡点 (Break-even)、固定成本 (Fixed costs)、贡献毛益 (Contribution)。
9. Production Methods | 生产方法
Three main production methods: Job production (one-off, unique items), Batch production (groups of identical products), Flow production (continuous, assembly line). Remember 'JBF' – 'Just Be Fast'.
三种主要生产方法：单件生产 (Job production, 一次性定制)、批量生产 (Batch production, 成组相同产品)、流水生产 (Flow production, 连续流水线)。记忆 "JBF" —— "Just Be Fast"。
Job production is like a tailor making one suit; Batch is baking 50 loaves; Flow is a car assembly line.
单件生产如同裁缝定制一件西装；批量生产像烤 50 条面包；流水生产如同汽车装配线。
Lean production aims to minimise waste without sacrificing productivity. Techniques: Just-in-time (JIT) – stock arrives exactly when needed. Kaizen – continuous improvement from small changes. Think 'Lean = clean, no waste'.
精益生产 旨在减少浪费而不降低生产率。方法：准时制 (JIT, 库存按需到达) 和改善 (Kaizen, 小步持续改进)。联想 "精益 = 干净无浪费"。
ty control checks at the end; quality assurance builds quality in from the start. Remember 'QC = end check, QA = built-in'.
质量控制 (QC) 在终端检查；质量保证 (QA) 从源头融入质量。记忆 "QC终端查，QA全程建"。
10. Human Resources and Motivation | 人力资源与激励
Recruitment is the process of finding and hiring employees. Internal recruitment hires from within; external hires from outside. Remember 'Inside job or outside help'.

激励理论帮助理解员工动力。两位关键人物：马斯洛需求层次理论（从基本需求到自我实现的金字塔）与赫茨伯格双因素理论（保健因素与激励因素）。记忆 "马斯洛金字塔，赫茨伯格双桶"。
Remuneration methods: salary, wage, commission, profit sharing, fringe benefits. Think 'Salary + fringe = total package'.
薪酬 形式：薪金、计时/计件工资、佣金、分红、附加福利。联想 "薪金加福利等于总报酬"。
11. External Influences on Business | 企业外部影响
External factors can be grouped using PEST: Political, Economic, Social, Technological. (Year 11 AQA may not require full PESTLE, but PEST is a strong memory tool.)
外部因素可用 PEST 分类：政治 (Political)、经济 (Economic)、社会 (Social)、技术 (Technological)。这是强大的记忆框架。
Economic influences: Interest rates – cost of borrowing; high rates reduce consumer spending. Exchange rates – value of one currency against another; a strong pound makes exports dearer. Inflation – general rise in prices. Use 'IEI' (Interest, Exchange, Inflation).
经济影响：利率 (Interest rates, 借款成本，高利率抑制消费)；汇率 (Exchange rates, 货币价值，英镑走强出口变贵)；通货膨胀 (Inflation, 物价普遍上涨)。记忆 "IEI"。
