Formulas
Total Cost = Fixed Costs + Variable Costs
Total Cost (TC) is the sum of Fixed Costs (FC) (costs that do not change with output) and Variable Costs (VC) (costs that vary with output). Used for calculating overall expense, aiding in pricing and profitability analysis.
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Profit (π) is calculated by subtracting Total Cost (TC) from Total Revenue (TR). This formula is critical for assessing business performance and making informed decisions.
Exchange Rate = Foreign Currency / Domestic Currency
The Exchange Rate indicates how much of one currency is required to purchase another. Important for understanding foreign trade values and operations.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) = (Equity Investment + Debt Investment)
FDI measures international investments in physical assets, combining equity and debt investments. It indicates a country's economic engagement globally.
GDP = C + I + G + (X - M)
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is calculated by adding Consumption (C), Investment (I), Government Spending (G), and Net Exports (X – M). This formula helps gauge economic health.
Tariff Amount = Import Value × Tariff Rate
The Tariff Amount imposed on imports is computed by multiplying the value of the import by the Tariff Rate. Crucial for assessing import costs and trade policies.
Market Share = (Company Sales / Total Market Sales) × 100
Market Share measures a company's sales relative to total market sales, indicating competitive position and market influence.
Net Profit Margin = (Net Profit / Total Revenue) × 100
Net Profit Margin shows the percentage of revenue that becomes profit, critical for evaluating company efficiency and profitability.
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
The Current Ratio assesses a company's ability to cover short-term obligations with short-term assets, important for liquidity analysis.
Return on Investment (ROI) = (Net Profit / Investment Cost) × 100
ROI measures the return generated from investments, critical for evaluating investment efficiency and decision-making.
Equations
Profit Maximization Condition: MR = MC
Marginal Revenue (MR) equals Marginal Cost (MC) at profit maximization. Essential for firms to determine optimal output levels.
Differential Advantage: Competitive Advantage = Unique Offerings - Competitor Offerings
This equation defines a firm's competitive advantage through unique product features that surpass competitor offerings, vital for strategic positioning.
Trade Balance = Exports - Imports
Trade Balance reflects a country's economic transactions with the rest of the world, indicating surplus or deficit in trade.
Break-even Point (BEP) = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)
BEP indicates sales volume required to cover costs, informing pricing and production strategies.
Total Revenue = Price × Quantity Sold
This equation calculates total revenue, forming the basis for several financial decisions, including pricing and sales strategies.
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory
COGS is critical for determining gross profit and managing inventory efficiently.
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) = √(2DS/H)
EOQ minimizes total inventory costs, where D is demand, S is ordering cost, and H is holding cost. Useful for inventory management.
Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
Working Capital measures liquidity and operational efficiency, essential for short-term financial health.
Exchange Rate Effect = (Change in Exchange Rate × Value in Foreign Currency)
Quantifies the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the value of foreign investments, relevant for currency risk assessment.
Net Export = Exports - Imports
Measures trade activity, crucial for understanding international economic engagement.
