Skills for Work: Business Finance
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Business finance is a Skills for Work unit about how businesses get money, spend it, invest it and save costs, applied in a real enterprise activity such as a tuck shop, cake sale or fundraising stall. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Work, or Skills for Life and Work, Award, Certificate or Diploma, from Entry 1 to Level 2. Numeracy is central: counting and adding money at Entry Level, then budgets, records of income and expenditure, profit and loss, percentages, cash flow and break-even at Levels 1 and 2. Literacy sits in explaining and evaluating reasons and justifying money decisions.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Dealltwriaeth gysyniadol

Working out profit and loss
The unit overview says learners represent amounts, compare costs and income and, at Level 1 and Level 2, calculate income, costs, profit and loss. No single criterion names profit, but the budget plan includes projected profit and Level 2 criterion 3.1 asks how controlling costs improves profitability, so the calculations sit inside the assessed budget and review work.
