2005.11.22(Review of 2004.09.14 edition)
Hello and thanks for joining us again today!
Have you ever looked at a company's balance statement? On the line at the very bottom of the statement, there's usually a figure that's of prime concern for any business: the company's total profit or loss. Today's expression comes from the location of this critically important number!
BOTTOM LINE 最終損益
- The bottom line is the net income (profit or loss) of a business or organization over a period of time.
- bottom line は、企業や組織の一定期間における収益額または損失額の合計のことです。
- Reducing production costs will help improve the bottom line.
- The rising costs of raw materials are adversely affecting our bottom line.
- With the new CEO, it's all about the bottom line (= all he's concerned about is making a profit).
- Socially responsible companies are showing the world that the bottom line shouldn't be the only measure of a business's success.
Have a great day!
