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?
Answers GPM: iPhone: 67% and Samsung 73% Profit: iPhone $2,400 and Samsung $2,150 Revenue per customer: $595 and CPA:$59.54 CLV: $1,440.46 Retention rate: 64% and Churn rate:36%

Professional Development Plan Competition
Professional Development Plan Competition The Integrated Business program is proud to announce a competition for IB majors in their final semester. We plan to launch the contest in fall 2016. Entry instructions and deadlines will be provided then.
Overview The purpose of this competition is for an IB student to create a detailed professional development plan that highlights the skills and knowledge he or she gained in the program’s coursework. A graduating student will enter the contest by submitting a link to an electronic portfolio created in Canvas (Webcourses@UCF). The portfolio will include required components from each of the eight required IB classes, and will also reflect the student’s restricted elective class. Each component will demonstrate skills and knowledge acquired in that course. In total, the portfolio will contain a plan describing the student’s professional motivations, goals, and intended activities for the five years after graduation.
Course Components Instructions for the individual course-related components will be provided in IB classes. Included with the instructions will be the rubric that will be used to evaluate the component in the first round of the competition. Opportunities to learn how to create an electronic portfolio in Canvas will be provided.
Competition Structure A team of faculty will score each entry using the rubrics provided in the instructions. The five students earning the highest total scores (added up across the portfolio’s components) will advance to the final round. Finalists will make 15 minute presentations to the Integrated Business Advisory Board, who will determine 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. Scholarship prizes will be awarded.
