I have a rental business. From time to time, a customer damages my asset beyond repair. I want to develop a spreadsheet that helps me open negotiations based on a pre-determined margin% that I enter.
I am attaching a mock-up of what I currently am using. Right now, I am using a hit-and-miss tactic to come up with a potential sell price to achieve the margin that I require. Ideally, I would like to type in the margin% and the spreadsheet calculate the MINIMUM Margin Sell Price to achieve that margin%.
These are the formulas that I am using currently:
Total Revenue = Rental Revenue + (Potential) Margin Sell Price (ie negotiated)
Total Costs = Unit Standard Cost + Commission + Freight + Repair Charges
Margin = Total Revenue - Total Costs
Margin% = Margin/Total Revenue
Can anyone help? I'm not sure if there are internal Excel functions that deal with margin...
Thanks,
