It is necessary to extract the maximum from the economy, and this should be facilitated by financial and economic model of your business, on the basis of which decisions are made rational management decisions. A qualitative model should take into account all factors, even those that do not seem to be able to influence the economy.
For example, will your organization receive an economic benefit if you grant a delay of several days to pay for its products, without increasing the price of it, if the activity is carried out at the expense of credit funds at a certain rate and repayment schedule for these debts? How will other temporary factors affect: operational, investment, financial, etc.?
As a result, your multifactorial model should answer the question of how and to what extent the balance sheet will change: its liquidity and autonomy in the capital structure.
This is the key purpose of its creation.
The economic gain in this context is an absolute increase in the autonomous (independent) well-being of the company, and not just profit.
