Eight microlearning boxes
Separate cost, markup, and margin
Markup uses cost as its denominator; margin uses selling price or revenue. They are related but not interchangeable.
Inventory cost is a rate applied to value
Carrying cost combines capital, storage, service and risk assumptions. The selected average inventory value strongly affects the result.
Working capital measures short-term balance-sheet liquidity
Positive net working capital can still coexist with slow collections, excess stock or timing pressure, so ratios and components matter.
Project economics need complete costs
Labor, materials, subcontractors, overhead and contingency should be modeled consistently before a target margin is trusted.
Break-even ROAS depends on contribution margin
A business with lower gross margin or higher variable costs generally needs a higher ROAS to break even on advertising.
CAC should use matched periods and cohorts
Acquisition costs and newly acquired customers should belong to comparable time windows and attribution rules.
Marketing RPM means revenue per thousand
On this page RPM is Revenue Per Mille—revenue per 1,000 views or impressions—not mechanical revolutions per minute.
Scenario tools support planning, not certainty
Costs, demand, auction prices, returns, collection timing and real conversion behavior can differ from planning assumptions.
