With the help of thismeasure, Event Planning Ltd. is able to evaluate their working or strategies to a significant level.On contrary to this, profit includes the revenue which is generated by the firm through organizing orplanning the different events. By subtracting the expenses from the income, business entity can3

On the basis of this aspect, itcan be stated that profit involves all the transactions including income which is received in cash ornot. For instance: company has accrued income of 20 million then business entity includes thisincome in the profitability aspect. This aspect includes all the monetary and non-monetaryelements. In comparison to this, cash flow includes all the income and expenditures which arehighly related to the financial aspects. In addition to this, cash is one of the most significant factorswhich is highly required to make payment to the creditors, staff etc. Further, cash is also needed to meet out the daily business operations and functions. EventPlanning Ltd. also requires to make focus on enhancing the profitability aspect which helps them inmaintaining the faith or trust of existing or potential investors. Hence, on the basis of givenscenario, company needs to make balance in the cash flow.

Liquidity and profitability characteristics:Liquidity is the measure which shows financial capability of the firm in relation to meettheir short term or current financial obligations. Thus, liquidity aspect is heavily influencedby the cash which is available within the business organization. If firm has sufficient amountof cash to meet the current financial obligations, then it is considered as highly liquid (Bank,2014). On the basis of give case, Event Planning Ltd. is unable to make payment to theircreditors on time. Thus, liquidity aspect of the firm is sound. In against to this, profitabilityis the measure which shows that revenue is generated by the firm by making sales over theexpenditure. If company has acquired high amount of profit then it shows that company cansurvive in the strategic business arena for a long run.Liquidity and profitability aspect of the firm are influenced by the accounting principles andconventions. On the basis of accounting principles, business entity records receipt andpayment that are occurred in monetary terms. On contrary to this, profitability measurefollows accounting conventions. Thus, on the basis of accrual concept, Event planners Ltd.needs to record income and expenses at the time of their occurrence irrespective that theyare received in cash or not (Tocker and et.al., 2013). Further, cash flow includes all the investing, financing and operating activities. Therefore,liquidity aspect of the firm is highly dependent on the activities which are performed by thebusiness unit during the accounting year. Whereas, profitability measure includes monetaryactivities which are associated with the operational aspects. 4
