Introduction
For a business to be successful, it is vital that data analysis is done. To determine the success of a product launch, it’s important for business leaders to understand its cost, revenue and profit. In this post, I will summarize my findings from analyzing the Cost, Revenue, and Profit spreadsheet retrieved from the company’s data center.
Analyse Results
The data shows that the product launched has resulted in a $500,000 total revenue and $375,000. COGS total cost. The profit margin of $125,000 is 25% higher than the COGS. This profit margin meets the company’s goal of 25% of the COGS.
An analysis of data showed that labor cost for new products was much higher than anticipated, which accounts for 40% of COGS. The data also showed that most of the revenue was generated by a few key customers.
