Formulas
Performance Index = (Actual Output / Target Output) × 100
Performance Index measures efficiency, where Actual Output is the real productivity achieved, and Target Output is the expected productivity. Useful for evaluating employee effectiveness.
Variance = Actual Performance - Standard Performance
Variance shows the difference between what was accomplished (Actual Performance) and what was planned (Standard Performance). Helps identify areas needing corrective action.
Budgeted Cost = Actual Units Produced × Standard Cost per Unit
This formula calculates the expected total cost for production. It is vital for budget adherence and cost control.
Cost Variance = Budgeted Cost - Actual Cost
Cost Variance indicates whether a project is under or over budget. Keeping costs in line is essential for financial performance.
Quality Standard = (Number of Defective Products / Total Products) × 100
This formula expresses the quality standard in percentage terms, critical for maintaining product quality in production.
Return on Investment (ROI) = (Net Profit / Investment) × 100
ROI measures the profit made relative to the investment cost, helping assess the efficiency of capital utilization.
Gross Profit Margin = (Gross Profit / Revenue) × 100
This indicates the percentage of revenue that exceeds the cost of goods sold, an essential measure of financial health.
Net Profit Margin = (Net Profit / Total Revenue) × 100
Net Profit Margin shows how much profit a company makes for every dollar of revenue, crucial for sustainability.
Labor Turnover Rate = (Number of Employees Leaving / Average Number of Employees) × 100
This rate measures workforce stability and can indicate employee satisfaction and effectiveness of HR practices.
Sales Growth Rate = ((Current Sales - Previous Sales) / Previous Sales) × 100
This formula calculates the rate at which a company's sales revenue is increasing. Tracking growth is vital for strategic planning.
Equations
Balanced Scorecard = Financial + Customer + Internal Business Processes + Learning & Growth
This framework measures organizational performance beyond financial metrics, highlighting the importance of different strategic perspectives.
SWOT Analysis = Strengths + Weaknesses + Opportunities + Threats
SWOT Analysis assesses internal capabilities and external conditions affecting performance, aiding in strategic planning.
Critical Path Method (CPM) = Total Project Completion Time
CPM identifies the longest stretch of dependent activities and measures the time required to complete the project. Essential for project management.
Control Process = Set Standards → Measure Performance → Compare with Standards → Analyze Deviations → Take Corrective Action
This outlines the systematic approach to controlling activities and ensuring organizational goals are met.
Feedback Loop = Information → Identify Deviations → Adjust Standards
This loop emphasizes the importance of feedback in refining standards and improving future performance.
Cost-Benefit Analysis = Total Benefits / Total Costs
This analysis helps determine whether the benefits of a project outweigh its costs, guiding financial decision-making.
Management by Exception = Focus on Significant Deviations
This principle directs managerial attention only to significant discrepancies between expected and actual performance.
Input-Output Ratio = Output / Input
This ratio measures efficiency in using resources to produce outputs, crucial for operational analysis.
CAPM = Risk-Free Rate + Beta × (Market Return - Risk-Free Rate)
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) estimates an investment's expected return based on risk, aiding financial decision-making.
Budget Variance = Actual Budget - Planned Budget
This indicates how well the actual budget aligns with the planned budget, crucial for financial control.
