Profit Contribution allows you to identify the level of surplus/profit generated by components of your business. By applying relative indicators to reflect the amount of variable and fixed expense (resource) a component consumes surplus and contribution levels are calculated. This component performance is combined with indicators for future potential and business ability to identify areas that will maximize current and future performance. Summary recommendations are provided for each breakdown and results presented in graphical and tabular form. This business tool can analyze any chosen component of an overall business or product line. Default breakdown is five Customer Segments and five Product Groups.

You can include up to 6 categories for expenses that vary with your sales (Variable Costs) and another 6 categories for expenses that don't vary with your sales (Fixed Costs). Input your descriptions and values in the blue cells. Example categories are provided. Your input can be based on a recent tax return or Profit and Loss statement. If you exclude asset and capital items the result will represent your day to day operating surplus/profit. Inputs do not have to be perfect but should reasonably reflect business operation. Analysis will determine the contribution made by customer segments and product groups to overall performance. This allows you to identify the most profitable components of your business and direct resources to maximize your current and future returns.

Variable Costs change with the volume of product or service you provide. Only include these costs in this section. You can input a descriptive name for these costs and define up to six categories for cost allocation.

Fixed Costs

Fixed Costs are expenses which remain constant (up to a point) while the volume of sales vary. You can input a descriptive name for these costs and define up to six categories for cost allocation.

You can break overall performance into any base components you desire. The default breakdown is five Customer Segments and five Product Groups. If desired input a descriptive name for the breakdown you will apply and each of your five segments. Customer Segments can be defined based on customer location, type, age, buying habits, number or value of sales, interests, or any attribute you choose. The sum of segment values in each category will equal overall values.

Revenue

Select your revenue input as Monetary or Percent. This allows you to input your revenue directly in Monetary (Dollars, Pounds etc) or Percentage terms. Input the revenue for each of your first four segments. Revenue for the fifth segment is calculated to make total revenue equal to overall revenue.

Transaction

Select your transaction input as Num Sales (Number of Sales) or Price (Average Revenue per Sale). This allows you to provide transaction input based on the number of sales within each segment or the average revenue (price) per transaction for each segment. Input the value for each of your five segments.

Relative Indicator reference

Select your Relative Indicator reference as Monetary or Transaction. This allows you to input your Relative Indicators referenced per unit of revenue in Monetary (Dollars, Pounds etc) or referenced per unit number of Transactions.

Each expense category provides a resource. This resource is used to secure sales transactions and revenue with the goal of generating a profit. The amount of resource required to secure a set number of transactions or a set amount of revenue varies by segment. Segments that consume more of a resource should contribute more to the expense that provided the resource. Expense allocations are determined using Relative Indicators. Relative Indicators can be referenced to Transactions or Monetary (Dollars, Pounds, etc). The base or "average" relative indicator is 100. This is the level of expense incurred overall business to secure a set number of transactions (if your reference is Transaction) or a set amount of revenue (if your reference is Monetary). If a segment uses 10% more of the expense than "average" to secure the transaction or revenue its relative indicator is 110. If 10% less its relative indicator is 90. If it uses none of the expense its relative indicator is 0. All calculations are relative, it does not matter what the relative indicator totals are only the relationship between each indicator is used.

Combined Assessment Chart

This chart plots the Opportunity Level against Return on Sales Level and shows the current Profit Contribution level for each segment and group. It allows you to easily identify areas for increased focus. The closer to the top the higher the comparative return on sales. The further to the right, the greater the comparative opportunity. Customer segments and product groups towards the top right hand side represent the best opportunities for development. The greatest opportunity may exist where a high rating product group is purchased by a high rating customer segment. This chart indicates where effort and resources should be directed for greatest return. The current profit contribution is indicated by the size of the marker. If the contribution is negative (the segment or group makes a loss) no marker will be seen.
