Monitor sales data and adjust pricing

How It's Calculated

Daily Profit Formula

Daily Revenue = (Sales per Day × Item Price) × (1 - Commission %)
Daily Costs = (Sales per Day × Item Cost) + Daily Maintenance + Daily Restocking
Daily Profit = Daily Revenue - Daily Costs

ROI and Break-even

Total Investment = Machine Cost + Setup Cost + Initial Inventory
Annual ROI = (Annual Profit ÷ Total Investment) × 100
Break-even Point = Total Investment ÷ Monthly Profit
