Cupcake economics 2발음듣기

In the last video we talked a little bit about, at least potentially, starting a cupcake factory.발음듣기

But this is a major investment that I'm thinking about making, so at minimum, I made a spreadsheet here in Excel and it's available at khanacademy.org/ downloads/cupcakes.xls.발음듣기

If you just click slash here, you'll see everything in the download directory, but I'm going to start putting more stuff there.발음듣기

So I encourage you to play with it.발음듣기

But this is essentially - it'll do all the math for us that we did in the last video, --the investment in the factory.발음듣기

Let's say in the real world, once I actually got bids from contractors and things like that, it ends up costing $1.1 million.발음듣기

The annual capacity is a million cupcakes per year.발음듣기

The cost per cupcake is - let's say, I don't know, input costs went up for whatever reason.발음듣기

Now that I have a computer doing the math for me, I can deal with a little bit funnier numbers.발음듣기

So let's say it's $1.05.발음듣기

The price charged per cupcake is $2.발음듣기

Well, actually, it can be anything, right?발음듣기

And so this is going to be an input field and right now it says $2.발음듣기

Let's say this is what we assume is how many cupcakes we sell.발음듣기

In this scenario, this is the income statement, at least as far as we get to the operating income line.발음듣기

And so it calculates that you have $2 million of revenue.발음듣기

Notice what happens when I change it.발음듣기

If I sell my cupcakes for a $1.50 per cupcake, then I only have $1.5 million.발음듣기

So it actually computes what we need it to compute.발음듣기

It computes the cost of goods sold.발음듣기

If I change the number of cupcakes, let's see, if instead of a million, I sell five 500,000, it calculates everything accordingly.발음듣기

And in all these scenarios it tells me my operating income.발음듣기

And if you go a little bit lower, it tells me capacity utilization.발음듣기

That's just how many cupcakes I sold, divided by how many I could make.발음듣기

So it's 50% utilization and then, my return on asset is my operating income divided by my initial investment, right?발음듣기

So this is 275,000 divided by 1.1, it was a minus 25.발음듣기

So this is actually a bad outcome.발음듣기

So in the last one, I touched on a little bit that the real lever that I, as the owner of my cupcake factory, can change is price.발음듣기

And then, obviously, if I charge a lower price more people are going to want to buy my cupcakes and if I charge a higher price, fewer people.발음듣기

Although, there are some things that when you charge a higher price people think it must be better so maybe they want it, or they want to show off to their friends, and look at this expensive cupcake that I eat, and it's kind of a status symbol.발음듣기

But for the most part the lower the price, the more you sell.발음듣기

And now we can actually figure out under what combinations am I going to make certain amounts of money.발음듣기

So if I charge $1.50 per cupcake and I'm only able to sell 500,000 cupcakes, I'm going to take a loss per year of $275,000.발음듣기

If I sell them for $1.75 and if I sell, I don't know, 700,000 cupcakes, I'm almost at break-even.발음듣기

So, let's see, you have to do $1.85.발음듣기

Here in this situation, I actually make money.발음듣기

I have a 5% return on asset.발음듣기

And, just so you know, this is a major investment that I'm making, $1.1 million.발음듣기

I actually want to make sure I understand all of the scenarios of price and sales.발음듣기

So what I did is actually used Excel to do a sensitivity study.발음듣기

So what I did here is I put all of the - let me just go to that part of the spreadsheet.발음듣기

And I encourage you to play with this, because it's interesting.발음듣기

It shows you that even in a fairly simple business, you can do a lot of analysis.발음듣기

And, if you're in high school or in middle school, this could actually be a fun - I don't know if they allow this type of thing for science projects.발음듣기

But go to a local business and kind of analyze the business in a hundred different ways.발음듣기

And actually, if you watch the probability videos, I do all those things on [UNINTELLIGIBLE] processes and things like that.발음듣기

You can analyze the business and do Excel spreadsheets and you'll probably end up winning soon. the state science fair.발음듣기

Call it a math project or engineering project.발음듣기

But anyway, here I want to figure, out what is my return on asset?발음듣기

So essentially my operating profit divided by my initial investment, depending on the different prices I might charge and the different quantities.발음듣기

And here it's kind of hard to visualize, so I graphed it as a three dimensional surface. 3D.발음듣기

So as you see here, if I charge $2.80 and I only sell 300,000, then this is my return on asset right here.발음듣기

This curve is actually the zero curve, right?발음듣기

So this is actually my break-even right here.발음듣기

So any point along this curve right here I'm at break-even.발음듣기

So if I'm at $2.80 per cupcake and I only sell 300,000, I'm at break-even.발음듣기

Let's see, what is this right here?발음듣기

If I sell $1.60 per cupcake and if I sell 900,000, then I'm also at break-even.발음듣기

So this is my break-even curve.발음듣기

This is what I want to avoid.발음듣기

Everything here is in the negative, right, according to the legend, minus 50% to zero percent return.발음듣기

So here I'm losing money and I would color it in if I wasn't in Excel mode.발음듣기

If I charge $1.60 per cupcake and I only sell 400,000 cupcakes, I'm going to have a negative return.발음듣기

And we can figure it out in that little worksheet I just did.발음듣기

But anyway this is fun to look at and I encourage you to play with it.발음듣기

And it actually shows you that it's a fairly interesting and sophisticated thing, that you have these two variables that change.발음듣기

And this is about as simple as a business can get.발음듣기

You can only imagine what happens when you start varying the other parameters, but these are the two big ones.발음듣기

So let's say, when I come out the gate, I want everyone in town to taste my cupcakes.발음듣기

Because I think, once they taste it, they'll realize that they're delicious.발음듣기

And by the way, I've also learned from the cigarette companies and I put nicotine in my cupcake, so I think people will become addicted to it.발음듣기

So what I do is, I want to charge a relatively low price for it.발음듣기

Let's say I do come out the gate at, I don't know, $1.75.발음듣기

And that's a very cheap price for cupcakes.발음듣기

There's actually no cupcake producers in this town right now.발음듣기

So I just sell out one, two, three.발음듣기

I just sell out of cupcakes.발음듣기

And so I'm making $200,000 per year, that's an 18% return on asset.발음듣기

And a lot of people would be happy with that, but I'm like, hey, I'm leaving money on the table because I'm selling out of my cupcakes.발음듣기

So what happens if I raise my price a little bit?발음듣기

I'm fully utilized, right?발음듣기

I have 100% utilization.발음듣기

So it makes sense for me to see if there's any - maybe there's some people who want cupcakes, who can't get them because I can't produce that many.발음듣기

So let me raise my price a little bit.발음듣기

Let me say I raise it to $1.85.발음듣기

At $1.85 it still turns out that I'm selling a million cupcakes in a year.발음듣기

Now, I was right.발음듣기

I was leaving money on the table.발음듣기

Now I'm making $300,000 a year.발음듣기

This seems like a good idea.발음듣기

I want to see how much people are willing to pay.발음듣기

So, let's say, I raise the price to $2.발음듣기

But, in that scenario, $2, it starts to get a little pricey for people.발음듣기

It's just kind of a little sticker shock.발음듣기

Maybe I should have done $1.99.발음듣기

And so I don't sell a million.발음듣기

I sell 950,000.발음듣기

There's maybe 50,000 thousand people in the margin who said, hey, you know, I'd buy it at $1.85 but I'm not willing to buy it at $2.발음듣기

But this still works out, right?발음듣기

I'm still making more money.발음듣기

Even though I'm selling fewer cupcakes, because I'm charging so much more per cupcake, and I'm making a 37% return.발음듣기

Let's say I keep figuring this out.발음듣기

And let's say I figured out the optimal point is me charging $3 per cupcake.발음듣기

And at $3 per cupcake, I'm able to sell you 750,000 cupcakes.발음듣기

And I make $962,000 a year and I have a huge return on asset, 88%.발음듣기

Imagine a business or some investment where you get 88% of your money every year.발음듣기

So that's all good and I'm driving a Bentley and I have the biggest house on a hill in town and all of that.발음듣기

But other people say, hey, all Sal's doing is making cupcakes.발음듣기

I can make cupcakes too and I have some money to build a factory.발음듣기

This is a better return on investment than the stock market or anything else that I know of.발음듣기

So I'm also going to get into the cupcake factory business.발음듣기

And so, here, this is the second worksheet in this spreadsheet.발음듣기

So let's say, I was at $1.3 million.발음듣기

I don't know if you can see this.발음듣기

Maybe I should zoom in a little bit.발음듣기

There you go.발음듣기

So this is the same thing.발음듣기

So I said $3 and, 750,000 cupcakes and my cost was a $1.05.발음듣기

So I was making $962,000.발음듣기

But then Imran - and just if you're curious why I wasn't recording videos for the last two weeks, actually Imran is the name of my son and he came into the world two weeks ago, and so, I think it makes sense to name a cupcake store after him.발음듣기

But let's say he comes in, and he's like, I'm tired of getting an allowance from dad; I also want to produce cupcakes.발음듣기

And he actually has more money because his grandma gave him more money because she likes him more than her son.발음듣기

And so he has $1.5 million to invest because he's like, wow, this is such a good investment, let me put more money into it. $1.5 million.발음듣기

He builds a factory that can produce two million cupcakes a year.발음듣기

And also, it's a more efficient factory, so it actually uses a little less electricity, and wastes less cream and frosting, and, I guess, nicotine as well.발음듣기

So the cost per cupcake is less.발음듣기

And he decides to undercut his father, so he charges $2.90 per cupcake.발음듣기

And when he charges $2.90 per - everyone just kind of runs to him, because his cupcakes are just as good.발음듣기

There really wasn't much of a barrier.발음듣기

So, let's say, he sells 500,000 cupcakes.발음듣기

Then I'm only selling 250,000 at $3.발음듣기

There's just some people who like my cupcakes.발음듣기

So I'm pretty much almost break-even and I say, well, these are my die-hard fans.발음듣기

And so, to benefit them - these guys aren't going to go anywhere else --I'm going to raise my prices a little bit.발음듣기

Just because I know that these guys like me.발음듣기

At least in that situation, I'm cutting a profit.발음듣기

But then I say, well, you know, this isn't a good state of affairs.발음듣기

He took all my business.발음듣기

I actually want you to notice something right here, what happened immediately.발음듣기

I was making an 88% percent return on my money, right?발음듣기

And just when this Imran comes in, and he enters into the space, all of a sudden, what is the return?발음듣기

He's only running at 25% utilization.발음듣기

But his return on asset has gone down to 20 - and, because he's at that utilization, his return on asset has gone down to 20%.발음듣기

And then my return on asset has gone down to 1%.발음듣기

So there's a general theme here.발음듣기

When someone is doing really well and getting a really great return, it attracts competition.발음듣기

It attracts capacity, right?발음듣기

And if there's enough demand to satiate that new capacity, maybe they will get a better return.발음듣기

But in general, over time, if there's a very favorable return, more and more competition will enter the market.발음듣기

Actually I've run out of time in the studio.발음듣기

In the next video, I'll talk about more scenarios with competition.발음듣기

See you soon.발음듣기
