Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a guide for business owners, particularly those in the plumbing and heating trades, on how to understand and manage overhead expenses. Published in the early 20th century, it reflects a time when scientific business management was a new concept, particularly for skilled tradesmen who focused on technical expertise rather than accounting. The author, who was a master plumber himself, recognized the need for practical, accessible guidance on topics such as calculating overhead costs, pricing jobs, and understanding the impact of discounts and profit margins. He uses a clear and conversational style, breaking down complex ideas into relatable examples based on his own experiences. The book explores the misconception that charging high prices is equivalent to high profits, demonstrating how seemingly small expenses like carfare or wasted material can significantly impact overall profitability. Through detailed calculations and illustrative examples, the author challenges traditional business practices and reveals the importance of accounting for overhead costs in order to achieve sustainable success. By adopting the methods presented in this book, business owners can gain a clearer understanding of their financial position and make informed decisions that ensure long-term profitability. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
