Module A: Economic Analysis

An economic analysis provides a lucid picture of the current economic scenario and whether the company/ business will sail through comfortably, surge ahead, stagnate, or slide down. Such an economic evaluation of a business is done through a complete appraisal of the market’s strengths, weaknesses, and fluctuations. You can apply several economic evaluation methods to determine where a certain business will stand in the future. The types of economic analysis are given below:

• Cost-Benefit Analysis
• Cost-Effective Analysis
• Cost- Minimisation Analysis

Cost-Benefit Analysis

This is a technique used to determine how feasible a project will be. In this kind of economic evaluation, the monetary cost of the project/ business and its returns are compared to reach the result. This is the most effective economic analysis, which provides insight into comparing and contrasting projects, help in determining whether an investment is ideal or not, and helps implement changes to the project/ business. After the cost-benefit analysis, a lucid picture of the outcome can be seen, and small business owners can make a sensible business decision.

Cost-Effective Analysis

In this type of analysis, the effectiveness of the project is weighed against its cost. In this case, it appears that low cost does not mean high effectiveness or vice versa. Through this analysis, it is seen that cost-saving does not always prove to be effective and give the desired results. 

Cost-Minimization Analysis

This analysis looks for the most cost-effective way to complete a project. This economic evaluation method comes in handy when cost-cutting is a priority. It is also used when there are two or more ways to get the desired results. Cost-minimization analysis is mostly used in the health care sector.

Business Mathematics Formulas

The basic Business Mathematics formulas are:

• Net Income Formula:

Net Income = Revenue – Expense

• Accounting Equation:

Assets = Liabilities Equity

Equity = Assets – Liabilities

• Cost of Goods Sold Formula:

COGS = Beginning inventory Purchase during the period – Ending inventory

• Break-Even point Formula:

Break-Even Point = Fixed cost / (Sales Price per unit – variable cost per unit)

• Current Ratio Formula:

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

• Profit Margin Formula:

Profit Margin = (Net Income/ Revenue) × 100

• Return of Investment (ROI) Formula:

ROI = [(Invest gain – Cost of Investment)/ Cost of Investment] × 100

• Markup Formula:

Markup Percentage = [(Revenue- COGS)/COGS] × 100

Selling Price using Markup = (COGS × markup percentage) COGS

Where,

COGS = Cost of goods sold

• Inventory Shrinkage Formula:

Inventory Shrinkage = [(Recorded Inventory – Actual Inventory)/ Recorded Inventory] × 100
