Total costs = Fixed costs + Variable costs

Profit = Total revenue – Total costs

Profit = Total contribution – Fixed costs

Market capitalisation = Number of shares issued * Current share price

Average rate of return (ARR) =

Net return from porject
∗ 100
Initial cost of project

(%)

Cost of goods sold
