Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula
Only include purchases affected by the quoted change. Recovery pricing depends on sales volume, customer response and other cost movements. The rule is Annual cost increase = annual affected purchases × supplier increase rate. Its input values are Annual affected purchases, Supplier price increase (%), Annual units sold, Current selling price per unit, and the main result is Annual profit impact before response. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Annual profit impact before response.
CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely
This tool models one operating decision from explicitly supplied company assumptions. The implemented relation is Annual cost increase = annual affected purchases × supplier increase rate, evaluated from Annual affected purchases, Supplier price increase (%), Annual units sold, Current selling price per unit to produce Annual profit impact before response. Only include purchases affected by the quoted change. Recovery pricing depends on sales volume, customer response and other cost movements. The model omits unentered taxes, cash timing, legal constraints and market uncertainty. Compare the output with company records and a downside scenario before committing resources.
The decision this tool supports
Measure the annual profit effect of a supplier price increase and the selling-price response needed to recover it.
Why the business model works
Only include purchases affected by the quoted change. Recovery pricing depends on sales volume, customer response and other cost movements.
Inputs and operating assumptions

The formula
Annual cost increase = annual affected purchases × supplier increase rate
What the calculator produces
The primary output is Annual profit impact before response; it also exposes Required price increase per unit, Required selling-price increase. Change one assumption at a time so the comparison remains explainable.
