Note: because BQ = 0 amd SQ = PQ, no asset [EQ] is created so there is no need to distinguish between product and non-product costs. V and F represent all costs. Q is PQ or SQ which are equal. BASIC RELATIONSHIPS: R=p*Q V=v*Q f=F/Q C=V+F CM = R - V CMR = CM / R PROFIT RELATIONSHIPS: Definition: I = R - C I=R-V-F

c=v+f cm = p - v cmr = cm / p

C=Q*c CM = Q * cm CMR = cmr

the fundamental equation

I=[p*Q]-[v*Q]-F
Algebra: I=[(p - v)*Q]-F I = [ cm * Q ] - F I + F = [ cm * Q ] [ I + F ] / cm = Q [ p * [ I + F ] ] / cm = p * Q [ [ p / p ] * [ I + F ] ] / [ cm / p ] = p * Q [ I + F ] / [ cm / p ] = R [ I + F ] / cmr = R TIQ = [ TI + F ] / cm TIR = [ TI + F ] / cmr BEQ = F / cm BER = F / cmr
