 When it comes to assessing a company's current situation, knowing how it operates is more than fundamental. In the industrial sector, for example, knowing how much a company can produce from a factory allows for better decision making. These include inventory sizing, production and storage costs reduction, better use of inputs and raw materials, and optimization of employees' work routines. In addition, the productive capacity indicator serves to dimension the supply to the market and to adjust the company's commercial and financial planning. Producing less can mean loss of customers, directly benefiting the competition. On the other hand, producing the most generates higher costs, harming the company's operating cash flow.

There are different ways of classifying and analyzing the productive capacity of a company. The main ones are: Installed productive capacity Corresponds to the total productive capacity that the company has, according to its infrastructure. Installed capacity considers the maximum productive potential of the company, where all the factors of production (machines, inputs, raw material, employees) would be fully functioning - without interruptions, losses, faults or other unforeseen events. It is a hypothetical indicator, which serves as a reference for strategic decision making. Productive capacity available Tell us what productive capacity is available to the company at the right moment. That is, the calculation takes into account only the assets and inputs that can come into operation effectively at that moment. The available capacity also does not consider the losses, shortages or shutdowns for any reason. Effective productive capacity Represents the level of production that the comp...

The productive capacity of a company is a key indicator to analyze the operational flow of any company. But because it is an indicator that is directly related to the revenue and profitability of the business, many think that the higher the productive capacity, the better. However, this concept can be misleading - since normally the ideal productive capacity will be the one that is able to better match the level of production with the market demand, generating the lowest possible cost. What is productive capacity? Productive capacity is the maximum amount of products and services that a company is able to produce in a given period. That is, it is an indicator that represents the ratio between the operational speed of the company and the balance resulting from its activity in products and services.

The number of micro and small enterprises (MPEs) with arrears in Brazil reached 5,174 million in June, a growth of 1% compared to May, when 5,122 million legal entities of the same size were in arrears, according to the second (13) to Serasa Experian. This is a new historical record, surpassing the previous high registered in May. In comparison with June 2017 (4,727 million), the increase reaches 9.5%. According to Serasa Experian economists, the increase in delinquency reflects "the slow recovery of growth in the Brazilian economy, the difficulty in generating cash from small companies and the increase in the cost of raw materials." Among the sectors, service companies accounted for 46.5% of total delinquents. Following are the negative trade CNPJs (44.5%) and industry (8.6%). Most of the micro and small companies with backlogs are still concentrated in the Southeast (54.3%). Northeast (16.1%), South (15.8%), Central West (8.7%) and North (5.2%) repeated in June the sequen...

Double taxation is a recurring theme within the investment market. This concern exists mainly when it comes to the distribution of profits, interest and royalties to shareholders and investors of a company. As the company pays taxes on its income, it is considered that taxation is already all done at source. Therefore, when distributing a portion of the profit in the form of dividends to its shareholders, it is presumed that they should not pay Income Tax on what was received. This is because if the company and the individual were taxed for the same dividend, the tax would be charged twice - which would be considered double taxation. Due to this logic, the double taxation on profits and dividends on individuals was extinguished in Brazil, through Law 9249/1995. However, this determination is far from being a consensus. There is now a big debate on the subject, where several economists and law experts are arguing for the return of dividend taxation on the individual.

Among all the obligations of an investor, paying taxes is certainly one of the most complicated. As the Brazilian tax system has a complex formulation, it is not uncommon to have a very contradictory event: double taxation. This confusion can occur especially when the investor receives dividends and profits from the companies he owns in the portfolio. That's why it's so important to keep up with all the obligations, be careful to know if you're not paying more than you should, to avoid cases of double taxation by the government. What is bitritutação? Double taxation is an event of the tax law where the same taxable event is taxed twice by two different entities. That is, it happens when the tax is collected from the taxpayer doubly, unfairly, by different entities. As each federal entity has separate responsibilities, double taxation occurs only through a conflict in the application of these taxes. So if there is a double charge, that means that one of them is trespassing o...

The exodus of immigrants from Venezuela is approaching a "crisis moment" comparable to the events involving refugees in the Mediterranean, the UN immigration agency said on Friday. Increasing numbers of Venezuelans are fleeing the economic crisis and political instability that shakes Venezuela, threatening to overload neighboring countries, including Brazil. Authorities from the region will meet in Bogotá next week to find a solution. This month, Ecuador and Peru have tightened the rules for Venezuelans to cross the border, requiring valid passports instead of just ID cards. In Brazil, residents of the town of Pacaraima in Roraima forced hundreds of Venezuelans to flee back to Venezuela. Describing these cases as warning signs, UN International Organization for Migration (IOM) spokesman Joel Millman said funding and means to manage the exodus need to be mobilized. "This is becoming a time of crisis that we have seen in other parts of the world, specifically in the Medi...

Currently, the index is calculated by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun or Economic Journal of Japan. The calculation of this index began in September 1950. Among some of the most famous companies that are included in this index are: Canon Incorporated; Sony Corporation; Toyota Motor Corporation; Honda Motors; Mitsubishi. In this way, the Nikkei was created as part of Japan's post-World War II reconstruction and industrialization program. In addition, the shares that make up this index are classified by price and not by market capitalization. Well that's the way it works on most indexes around the world. Thus, the composition of the Nikkei undergoes a review every September. However, it is only in October that all necessary changes are made. Obviously, like all indexes, the Nikkei 225 is designed to be a kind of "thermometer" of Japanese economic activity, given that several large companies from different sectors form this market index.

To give you an idea, the Nikkei 225 index (or only Nikkei, as it is usually abbreviated) is the Japanese equivalent of the Dow Jones Industrial Average index of the United States. Therefore, we can say that the Nikkei is a weighted price index composed of the 225 largest Japanese companies listed on the Tokyo stock exchange. It is important to point out that it is not possible to directly buy an index because there are several ETFs whose components are correlated with the Nikkei.

Stocks are one of the best ways to receive dividends. Distributed dividends represent a portion of the company's profit. By investing in profitable and profitable businesses, you must expect dividends to grow as well. In this way, the investor can enjoy the passive income without having to sell his equity. When investing in dividend shares, it is important to look at some factors, such as the dividend yield. The dividend yield is nothing more than the dividend divided by the share price. For the investor seeking to invest to receive dividends, it is appropriate to seek shares with a high dividend yield. There are a number of good companies in the Brazilian stock exchange with very satisfactory dividend rates. Some of these companies have a dividend yield much higher than the Selic rate, which is the most used interest rate in Brazil. However, although the dividend yield is an important variable, it is not correct to limit it. It is necessary to analyze other factors, such as the pr...
