Formulas
Total Cost (TC) = Fixed Cost (FC) + Variable Cost (VC)
TC is the total cost incurred, FC is constant irrespective of production level, and VC varies with level of production. This formula aids in understanding the overall cost structure in wholesaling.
Markup Percentage = [(Selling Price - Cost Price) / Cost Price] × 100
This formula calculates the markup added to the cost to determine selling price. Useful in retail pricing strategies.
Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
Gross Profit demonstrates the difference between revenue and the direct costs of producing goods sold, giving insight into core profitability.
Net Profit = Gross Profit - Total Expenses
This formula defines net profit by subtracting all expenses from gross profit, essential for assessing overall business profitability.
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock
COGS helps track the direct costs associated with goods sold over a specific period, crucial for determining profitability.
Return on Investment (ROI) = [(Net Profit / Cost of Investment) × 100]
ROI measures the efficiency of an investment, showing the return generated relative to the investment made.
Break-even Point (BEP) in units = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)
BEP indicates the volume of sales needed to cover costs, an essential metric in trade operations.
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
This ratio measures how often inventory is sold and replaced over a period, indicating inventory management efficiency.
Sales Growth Rate = [(Current Period Sales - Previous Period Sales) / Previous Period Sales] × 100
This formula calculates the percentage increase in sales, critical for identifying growth trends in retail.
Expense Ratio = Total Expenses / Total Revenue
This ratio provides insight into the proportion of revenue consumed by expenses, aiding in budget assessments.
Equations
GST = CGST + SGST + IGST
This equation breaks down the Goods and Services Tax structure, relevant for internal and external trade considerations.
Total Revenue = Price per Unit × Quantity Sold
Total revenue generated from sales helps retailers and wholesalers assess income generated from their trade operations.
Credit Sales = Total Sales - Cash Sales
This equation helps determine the proportion of sales made on credit, important for cash flow management in retail.
Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
This formula is crucial for assessing the liquidity position of a retailer or wholesaler.
Net Profit Margin (%) = (Net Profit / Revenue) × 100
This margin indicates how much profit is generated from each unit of sales, helping evaluate profitability performance.
Market Share = (Company Sales / Total Market Sales) × 100
Market share indicates the percentage of the market controlled by a business, vital for strategic positioning.
Customer Retention Rate = [(Customers at End of Period - New Customers) / Customers at Start of Period] × 100
This formula helps understand the efficacy of customer loyalty programs and service satisfaction.
Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity
This ratio evaluates the financial leverage of a business, important for assessing risk in trading.
Average Sale per Customer = Total Sales / Total Customers
This equation is useful for analyzing customer purchasing behavior and tailoring sales strategies.
Supply Chain Cost = Transportation Cost + Handling Cost + Inventory Cost + Order Processing Cost
This aggregates the total costs involved in moving products through the distribution chain, critical for logistics management.
