Performance Analysis Software
This basic calculator allows you to input a unit cost price and then applies a range of ‘selected’ mark-up percentages to that unit price. The selling price, profit margin and gross profit per unit are then calculated.
This simple tool allows you to generate a number of basic ‘what-if’ situations regarding operating profit. The idea is that you can select a dollar value profit target for your business – a month, a quarter or a year – it is simply a specific period output. By adding costs and gross margin, the level of sales required is generated, along with the breakeven sales point.
This exercise uses more detail over a more immediate active trading period (the last, or any, six month period) and involves more attention to expense details. The outcome of analysis from this tool can be used to alter and improve current Profit and Loss trends in the next tool.
A financial performance learning exercise which will help you understand how the Profit and Loss figures from your business can be used to track performance over five years by developing key performance RATIOS. These ratios can be used to analyse the past and plan future performance targets.
