Which index tracks cost changes over time?
Fox factor
Lang factor
Scale factor
CEI (Chemical Engineering Index)
Cost scaling uses size ratio raised to the power of:
1.0

Break-even point occurs when Total Revenue (TR) equals Total Cost (TC):
NPV = 0 (Net Present Value = 0)
MR = MC (Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost)
TR = TC (Total Revenue = Total Cost)
ROI = 1 (Return on Investment = 1)
Profit-Volume ratio (P/V) equals:
VC / Sales (Variable Cost / Sales)
Sales / CM (Sales / Contribution Margin)
CM / Sales (Contribution Margin / Sales)
Sales / VC (Sales / Variable Cost)
