PART 3: KEY FINANCIAL METRICS
1. Cost of Production Per Liter
📊 Formula:
Cost per Liter = Total Monthly Expenses ÷ Total Milk Produced (liters)
Example: ₹19,500 ÷ 300L = ₹65/liter
अगर आप ₹55/liter में बेच रहे हैं, तो आप ₹10/liter का LOSS कर रहे हैं!
2. Profit Per Animal Per Month
| Animal ID | Milk (L) | Revenue | Cost | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cow-001 | 45L | ₹2,475 | ₹1,800 | ₹675 |
| Cow-002 | 30L | ₹1,650 | ₹1,500 | ₹150 |
| Buffalo-005 | 60L | ₹4,200 | ₹2,200 | ₹2,000 |
