Default Calculate X1-5 and Y? If total cost is given.

The sum of the revenue in your example is 230000, so you will be
making a loss if your cost is 270000. Carrying through with this
example, though, your profit is -40000, which gives -14.8% profit. Is
this the profit margin you want to apply to all projects?

By Profit Margin, do you mean the difference between revenue and cost,
or the percentage profit compared with cost?

Hi,


I was wondering if someone could help me.


I have 5 projects with different set of revenues.


Project * * * * Rev * * * * * * Cost * * * * * *Profit margin
P1 * * * * * * *50000 * * * * * X1 * * * * * * *Y
P2 * * * * * * *10000 * * * * * X2 * * * * * * *Y
P3 * * * * * * *100000 * * * * * * * * *X3 * * * * * * *Y
P4 * * * * * * *20000 * * * * * X4 * * * * * * *Y
P5 * * * * * * *50000 * * * * * X5 * * * * * * *Y


I have total cost of X1-5 = 270000,-


And now I want the 270 000 to be distributed on my 5 project so that they
all have the same profit margin Y.
