The earnings activities of a business, usually the act of performing a service or selling a product, are called which term?

• A. Resources
• B. Revenues
• C. Shares
• D. Social Entrepreneurship

Answer: (B)

Revenue is the money a business earns from its ordinary activities, such as providing services or selling goods. It represents the inflow of economic benefits from customers and sits at the top of the income statement. This is different from profit, which is what remains after subtracting expenses. The other terms don’t describe earnings activities: resources are assets, shares are ownership stakes, and social entrepreneurship refers to a business approach aimed at social impact rather than the act of earning income itself.
