Sales Math Gross profit margin Profit Cost per Acquisition Basic Customer Lifetime Value formula Retention
Gross profit margin Formula= sales price – cost of good Sales price Calculate the gross profit margin for the following smart phones sold at a local store. iPhone, sales price $600 and cost of good $200. Samsung Galaxy price $590 and cost of good $160
Profit Sales or revenue Revenue-costs= Profit If in the month of March, they sold 6 iPhones and 5 Samsung Galaxy in which type of phone they made more profits?
Cost per Acquisition Formula= Average revenue per customer = yearly revenue/yearly customer count What was the average revenue per customer for the month of March? And if you going to assign 10% of the average revenue per customer for covering the cost per acquisition, then how much money can you assign to bring one customer?
Basic Customer Lifetime Value Formula CLV = m * L – AC m= contribution margin generated from a customer in a year L= expected purchasing life of a customer AC= up-front cost of acquiring a customer Calculate the CLV for a high-end customer that will stay for three years with a contribution margin of $500 per year. Use the same acquisition cost calculated on the previous problem.
Retention Churn rate= percentage of existing customers who stop purchasing your product, often measured in a year. What is the retention rate and churn rate for the business if in the month of April, 7 March customers return to the store to buy a product or service?
