1.What is KPIs? On key Performance Indicators, are measurable values that organizations use to track and
evaluate their progress towards achieving specific objectives or goals. They provide a way to quantify
performance and assess whether the organization is on track to meet its targets. KPIs can vary depending on
the industry, department, or specific goals of the organization, but they should always align with the overall
strategic objectives and provide insights into performance, effectiveness, efficiency, and progress.

2.What is revenue and expenses? Revenue refers to the income or sales generated by a company through
its primary business activities. It represents the amount of money earned by selling products or services to
customers. Revenue is a crucial financial metric as it directly contributes to a company's financial health and
growth.
Expenses, on the other hand, are the costs incurred by a company to operate its business and generate
revenue. Expenses can include various categories such as salaries and wages, rent, utilities, raw materials,
marketing expenses, and administrative costs. Managing expenses effectively is essential for a company to
maintain profitability and financial stability. By controlling expenses and maximizing revenue, a company can
increase its profitability and overall financial performance.

3.What is difference between revenue and profit? Revenue: Revenue refers to the total amount of money
generated by a company through its primary business activities, such as sales of products or services. It
represents the top line of a company's income statement and is calculated by multiplying the quantity of
goods or services sold by their selling price. Revenue is also known as sales, turnover, or income.
Profit: Profit, also known as net income or earnings, represents the amount of money left over after
deducting all expenses from the revenue. It is the bottom line of a company's income statement and
indicates the company's profitability. Profit is calculated by subtracting the total expenses, including
operating costs, taxes, interest, and any other deductions, from the revenue.

Primary Data (Mock Data)

For creating the mock data, the company supported me by giving a live example of a fully functional e-
commerce website of an edible oil manufacturing company selling their products online. I was able to browse
through the backend customer data, understand the various fields captured by the e-commerce website and
calculate different metrics. This supported me tremendously in creating mock data for the main assignment.

Data Collection
As an integral part of this internship project, the creation of mock data played a crucial role in simulating
real-world scenarios while ensuring the confidentiality of actual data. Careful attention was given to crafting
mock data that closely resembled our organization's actual data environment. This involved generating
various data points, such as:

1. Customer Information: Mock customer data was created, including attributes such as names, addresses,
contact information, and demographic details. This allowed for analysis and exploration of customer
behaviour without compromising the privacy of real customers.

2. Financial Data: Mock sales and financial data was generated to mimic actual transactions and financial
performance. This included details such as transaction dates, product codes, quantities, prices, and revenue
figures. By using mock data, we could analyze sales trends, profitability, and financial metrics without
exposing sensitive financial information.

3. Marketing and Campaign Data: Mock marketing and campaign data was generated to analyze the
effectiveness of marketing strategies and promotional activities. This included data on campaign dates,
channels used, customer responses, conversion rates, and other relevant metrics. By using mock data, we
could evaluate the impact of different marketing initiatives without compromising the confidentiality of real
campaign data.

By utilizing carefully crafted mock data, we were able to conduct comprehensive analysis and gain valuable
insights into our business operations while maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of actual data.
Revenue Data:

Net Revenue: Net Revenue is the total revenue earned by a company after deducting any refunds, including
taxes. Let's assume the net revenue range is randomly generated between $50 and $150.
Revenue Generated From Ads: This represents the portion of revenue generated from advertising activities. It
is calculated as 40% of the net revenue plus a random amount between $9,000 and $20,000. Let's assume the
random value is $12,000.
Cost of Goods Sold: The cost of goods sold (COGS) represents the direct costs associated with producing or
acquiring the goods or services sold by the company. Let's assume a random COGS value of $8,000.
Gross Profit: Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the net revenue. It
represents the profit earned before considering other operating expenses. In this case, the gross profit would
be $12,000 - $8,000 = $4,000.
Marketing Cost: Marketing cost is the expense incurred by the company in promoting its products or
services. In this scenario, the marketing cost would be equal to the net revenue (inclusive of tax) minus the
COGS. Let's assume a random marketing cost of $10,000.
Total Expenses: Total expenses represent the sum of all costs incurred by the company, including the cost of
goods sold and marketing costs. In this case, the total expenses would be $8,000 (COGS) + $10,000
(marketing cost) = $18,000.
Operating Profit: Operating profit is calculated by subtracting the marketing cost from the gross profit. It
represents the profit earned after considering operating expenses. In this example, the operating profit would
be $4,000 (gross profit) - $10,000 (marketing cost) = -$6,000.
Tax: If the tax is constant, it means that the tax amount remains the same for every transaction and does not
vary based on the net revenue.

Benchmark: Typically, operating profit is expected to be between 5% and 20% or higher. However, in this
case, the operating profit is negative.

In summary, based on the mock data provided, the company generated a net revenue between $50 and $150.
Revenue generated from ads was $12,000. The cost of goods sold was $8,000, resulting in a gross profit of
$4,000. The marketing cost was $10,000, leading to total expenses of $18,000. The operating profit was -
$6,000, indicating a loss. It is important for the company to assess its expenses and revenue generation
strategies to improve profitability.

Marketing Campaign Data:


In a marketing campaign, various metrics are used to measure the effectiveness and success of
advertisements. Some key metrics include clicks, impressions, purchases, click-through rate (CTR),
impression conversion rate, and return on investment (ROI).
Clicks refer to the number of times people have clicked on the advertisement. It indicates the level of
engagement and interest generated by the ad. On the other hand, impressions represent the number of times
the advertisement has been seen by people. It provides insights into the reach and visibility of the ad.
Click-through rate (CTR) is calculated by dividing the number of clicks by the number of impressions. It
measures the percentage of users who clicked on the ad out of the total number of people who saw it. A
higher CTR is generally considered more favorable and indicates a higher level of engagement with the ad.
Impression conversion rate is calculated by dividing the number of purchases made through the advertisement
by the number of clicks. It represents the percentage of users who took a desired action, such as making a
purchase, after seeing the ad. A positive impression conversion rate, ideally with a ratio of 5:1 or higher, is
considered good and shows that the ad is effectively driving conversions.
Return on investment (ROI) is a measure of the profitability of an advertising campaign. It is calculated by
subtracting the total marketing cost from the revenue generated from the ad, and then dividing it by the total
marketing cost. ROI is usually expressed as a percentage and indicates the return or profits generated
compared to the cost of the investment.

Marketing Campaign Data:


(Click Through Rate)CTR Formula: No. of Clicks / No. of Impression
Benchmark: Typically 1% or higher for digital advertising campaigns
Definition: The percentage of users who click on a specific link or
advertisement out of the total who saw it.

Impression Conversion Rate: Formula: Purchase / No. of Clicks


Benchmark: Positive, with 5:1 or higher considered good
Definition: The percentage of users who take a desired action (e.g., make a
purchase) after seeing an ad impression.

period of time, highlighting our ability to increase sales and expand our market presence.
4. Operating Profit: This figure represents the profit earned from our core operations, excluding non-operating
expenses, and serves as an indicator of our financial performance.
5. Operating Margin: This metric calculates the percentage of revenue that remains as operating profit after deducting
all operating expenses, allowing us to assess our profitability and cost efficiency.
6. EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization): This metric provides a measure of our
organization's operating performance by excluding non-operating expenses and accounting for the impact of
depreciation and amortization on our earnings.
7. Campaign Name: The name or identifier for a specific marketing campaign.
8. Impressions: The total number of times an advertisement or promotional material is displayed to potential
customers.

Literature Review

1. Rao (1993) discussed in his research about ‘Financial appraisal of Indian Automotive Tyre Industry’. Main
objective of study was intended to probe into the financial condition-financial strength and weakness-of the
Indian tyre industry. He has been measured and evaluates the financial performance through inter-company
and inter-sector analysis for the period of 1981-1988. He has found that the fixed assets utilisation in many of
the tyre undertakings was not as productive as expected and inventory was managed fairly well. He
has considered that the tyre industry's overall profit performance was subjected to inconsistency and
ineffective. He has suggested some recommendations to improve financial performance.
2. Holtje (1978): showed that advertising operations in American Colonial times were initiated through
colonial newspapers and supported by home post officers acting as agents. Various studies have examined the
economic effects of advertising. One study found a positive and significant relationship between advertising
expenditures and aggregate demand, while another study found no positive relationship between advertising
and aggregate consumption. Specific studies have focused on the effectiveness of advertising on sales income
and profitability of food and beverage businesses in Nigeria. Research studies have explored the relationship
between advertising expenditures and turnover of Nigerian companies, with findings indicating that
advertising is a dominant determinant of company turnover.

This internship project, focused on analyzing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), marks a significant
milestone in our organizations. We identified areas of strength and opportunities for improvement across
sales and revenue, financial performance. These findings will guide our decision-making and action plans in
the coming months.

The Suggestion we provide offer a roadmap for our organization to enhance data quality, optimize KPIs, and
foster a culture of data-driven decision-making. We are ready to continue this journey, transitioning from
mock data to real data for more accurate analysis and actionable insights.
