Explanation:

In business a cash cow is a venture that generates income that is above that required for its formation. Companies always try to purchase cash cows because it will result in higher profits and balance out losses from less profitable business activities.

For example the iPhone is a cash cow for Apple because it generates revenue that is far above its market growth rate. So it uses income from iPhone sales to balance other business activities.
