Eight microlearning boxes

01

Keep periods and units consistent

Turnover, liquidity, margins, payback and customer economics are meaningful only when numerator and denominator refer to compatible periods and units.

02

Margin and markup use different denominators

Margin divides profit by selling price or revenue, while markup divides profit by cost.

03

Liquidity ratios are snapshots

Current ratio and working capital describe a balance-sheet moment; cash timing and asset quality still matter.

04

Meeting cost is a loaded-resource estimate

Salary alone understates the economic cost if benefits, payroll burden, overhead or contractor rates are excluded.

05

Discounts and taxes should be sequenced explicitly

Net price depends on whether tax is applied before or after discounts and which fees are taxable.

06

Simple payback ignores time value

Discounted payback can be longer because future cash flows are discounted; neither metric alone captures full project value.

07

LTV:CAC is sensitive to retention assumptions

Small changes in churn or expected customer lifetime can materially change estimated lifetime value.

08

Invoices are records, not payment guarantees

An invoice should clearly state seller, client, items, totals, dates, terms and notes, but collection still depends on agreement and payment behavior.

Knowledge challenge

Do margin and markup use the same denominator?
