Fragen über die Beispielsätze mit, und die Definition und Benutzung von "Proceeds"

A: "proceeds" means "money obtained from an event or activity." So this means "you'll have the money from [something] and also the money (or things) that Dad left you"

"left you" means "left for you," and probably means Dad has passed away, but I don't know the context.

A: They use money they gained by investing to pay for travel. The most common form of investing is probably the stock market.

A: Profit!

A: money from an event/activity.
In this case, money from the tax

A: money/earnings. ^^

A: So proceeds refers to an entire amount of money that is gained from a sale or an event, while profit is only the amount of money gained after you subtract the cost of how much money was used to produce the product.

So when something says "All proceeds go to charity" it is saying that all of the money gathered from the event or the product will go to charity. Meanwhile, if it were to say "All profits go to charity", it would mean that only the money earned after repaying the cost of production for the product or event, will go to charity.

Hope this helps a little. They are used in very similar situations, so sometimes it is hard to explain such tiny differences.

A: The difference between proceeds and earnings is that proceeds is revenue; gross revenue while earnings is wages, money earned, income.

A: Proceeds means all the money made, for example: I did a bake sale and the proceeds added up to 200 euro. Profit is anything more than what you spent. If you spent 50 euro on baking and the proceeds were 200 euro the profit is 150 euro.

A: × ‎The entire proceeds from the sale of this book will be used for self-reliance of the dependent church and to build youth, the future leader of Korea.
✓ ‎The entire proceeds from the sale of this book will be used for the self-reliance of the dependent church and to build the youth, the future leaders of Korea.

I am not sure if build the youth is what you are trying to say but build youth is not correct. I would need more context to fully understand.

A: Thank you!
