Revenue Calculation:
- Formula: Revenue = Price per Unit × Quantity Sold.
- Indicates total revenue generated from sales.

- Formula: Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS).
- Represents profitability by measuring the difference between revenue and COGS.
Net Profit:
- Formula: Net Profit = Gross Profit - Operating Expenses.
- Shows actual profit after all expenses are accounted for.
Inventory Turnover Ratio:
- Formula: Inventory Turnover Ratio = COGS / Average Inventory.
- Measures how frequently inventory is sold and replaced, reflecting inventory management efficiency.
Break-Even Point:
- Formula: Break-Even Point (Units) = Fixed Costs / (Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit).
- Determines the number of units necessary to cover costs, resulting in zero profit.
Markup Percentage:
- Formula: Markup Percentage = ((Selling Price - Cost Price) / Cost Price) × 100.
- Calculates the percentage increase from cost to selling price, indicating profit margin.
Shrinkage Rate:
- Formula: Shrinkage Rate = ((Recorded Inventory - Actual Inventory) / Recorded Inventory) × 100.
- Measures percentage of inventory lost due to theft, damage, or errors.
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV):
- Formula: CLV = (Average Purchase Value × Purchase Frequency × Customer Lifespan) / Number of Customers.
- Estimates total revenue expected from a single customer throughout their relationship with the business.
Sales Growth Rate:
- Formula: Sales Growth Rate = ((Current Period Sales - Previous Period Sales) / Previous Period Sales) × 100.
- Calculates percentage increase in sales over a period, indicating business growth.
Average Transaction Value (ATV):
- Formula: ATV = Total Sales / Number of Transactions.
- Measures average spending per transaction, useful for understanding customer spending behavior.
