Key Formulasin Macroeconomics
1. GDP = C + I + G + Xn: The expenditure approach to measuring GDP
2. GDP = W + I + R + P: The income approach to measuring GDP
3. Calculating nominal GDP: The quantity of various goods produced in a nation times their current
prices, added together.
4. GDP deflator: A price index used to adjust nominal GDP to arrive at real GDP. Called the ‘deflator’
because nominal GDP will usually over-state the value of a nation’s output if there has been inflation.
5. Real GDP:
6. GDP Growth rate:
7. The inflation rate via the CPI:
8. Real interest rate = nominal interest rate – inflation rate.

9. Unemployment Rate =
10. Money Multiplier =
11. Quantity theory of money: MV = PY – a moneterist’s view which explains how changes in the money
supply will affect the price level assuming the velocity of money and the level of output are fixed.
12. MPC + MPS = 1. Households may consume or save with any change in their income.
13. Spending Multiplier =
14. Tax multiplier = -MPCMPS. It tells you how much total spending will result from an initial change in the
level of taxation. It is negative because when taxes decrease, spending increases, and vis versa. The
tax multiplier will always be smaller than the spending multiplier.

Short Run Average Costs
1. Average Fixed Cost (AFC)
The average fixed costis the totalfixed costdivided by the number of units
produced.Hence, if TFC is the total fixed costand Q is the number ofunits
produced,then
AFC=TFCQ
Therefore, AFC is the fixed costperunit ofoutput.
Example: The TFC ofa firm is Rs. 2,000. If the outputis 100 units, the average fixed
costis,
AFC=TFCQ=2000100=Rs.20
If the outputis increased to 200 units, then
AFC=TFCQ=2000200=Rs.10
Since TFC is constant, anyincrease in outputdecreasesthe AFC. Notethat, while the
AFC can becomereally small, it is never zero.
2. Average Variable Cost (AVC)
The second aspectofshort-runaverage costsis an average variable cost. Average
variable costis the total variable costdivided bythe number of units produced.
Hence, if TVC is the total fixed cost and Q is the number of units produced, then
$$AVC =frac {TVC}{Q}$$
Therefore, AVC is the variable costperunit of output.
Usually, the AVC falls as the outputincreases from zero to normal capacityoutput.
Beyond the normal capacity, the AVC rises steeply due to the operationof
diminishing returns.
3. Average Total Cost (ATC)
5. Important Formulas – Commerce Manangement
UGC NET PRATICE SET’S = CLICK HERE UGC NET TEST SERIES = CLICKHERE
The average total cost is the sum ofthe average variable costand the average fixed
costs. Thatis,
ATC = AFC + AVC
In otherwords, it is the totalcostdivided by the number of units produced.
The diagram below shows the AFC, AVC, ATC, and Marginal Costs (MC)curves:
It is important to note that the behaviour of the ATC curve depends uponthatofthe
AVC and AFC curves. Observethat:
In the beginning, both AVC and AFC curves fall. Hence, the ATC curve falls as well.
Next, the AVC curve starts rising, but the AFC curve is still falling. Hence, the ATC
curve continues to fall. This is because, during this phase, the fall in the AFC curve is
greater than the rise in the AVC curve.
As the output rises further, the AVC curve rises sharply. This offsets the fall in the
AFC curve. Hence, the ATC curve falls initially and then rises.
Marginal Cost (MC)
Another conceptto learn in short-run average costsis Marginal Cost. Marginal costis
the addition made to the costof productionbyproducingan additional unit ofthe
6. Important Formulas – Commerce Manangement
UGC NET PRATICE SET’S = CLICK HERE UGC NET TEST SERIES = CLICKHERE
output. In simpler words, it is the total costofproducingt units instead of t-1 units.
Let’s look at an example to understand this better:
A firm produces5units at a total costofRs. 200. Forsomereasons, it is required to
produce6units instead of5 and the total costis Rs. 250. Therefore, the marginal cost
is Rs. 250 – Rs. 200 = Rs. 50.
A note aboutmarginal costs:It is independentof fixed costs.This is becausefixed
costsdo notchangewith the output. Onthe other hand, in the shortrun, the variable
costschangewith the output. Hence, marginal costsaredue to changes in
variable costs. Therefore,
MC=ΔTCΔQ
Accounting Formulas –
Balance sheet formula
Assets – liabilities = equity (or assets = liabilities + equity)
This basic formula must stay in balance to generate an accurate balance sheet. This means that all
accounting transactions must keep the formula in balance. If not, the accountant has made an error.
Retained earnings formula
Beginning balance + net income – net losses – dividends = ending balance
Income statement formula
Revenue (sales) – expenses = profit (or net income)
Keep in mind that revenue and sales may be used interchangeably. Profit and net income may also
be used interchangeably. The income statement is also referred to as a profit and loss statement.
Gross margin
Sales – cost of sales
Gross margin is not a company’s net income or profit. Other expenses, such as selling, general, and
administrative (SG and A) expenses, are subtracted to arrive at net income.

Operating income (earnings)
Gross profit – selling, general, and administrative (SG and A) expenses
Statement of cash flows formula
Beginning cash balance + cash flow sources (uses) from operations + cash flow sources (uses) from
financing + cash flow sources (uses) from investing = ending cash balance
This formula adds cash sources and subtracts cash uses.
Inventory formula
Beginning inventory + purchases – cost of sales = ending inventory (or beginning inventory +
purchases – ending inventory = cost of sales)
Net sales formula
Gross sales – sales discounts – sales returns and allowances
Book value of fixed (depreciable) assets
Original cost – accumulated depreciation
Straight line depreciation
(Original cost – salvage value) / number of years in useful life
Salvage value is the dollar amount that the owner can receive for selling the asset at the end of its
useful life.

Formula to Calculate Correlation Coefficient
About Correlation Coefficient
The correlation coefficient is a measure of the association between two variables. It is used to
find the relationship is between data and a measure to check how strong it is. The formulas return
a value between -1 and 1 wherein one shows -1 shows negative correlation and +1 shows a
positive correlation.
The correlation coefficient value is positive when it shows that there is a correlation between the
two values and the negative value shows the amount of diversity among the two values.

Central Limit Theorem Formula
The Central Limit Theorem is the sampling distribution of the sampling means approaches a
normal distribution as the sample size gets larger, no matter what the shape of the data
distribution. An essential component of the Central Limit Theorem is the average of sample
means will be the population mean.
Similarly, if you find the average of all of the standard deviations in your sample, you will find
the actual standard deviation for your population.
Mean of sample issame as meanof the population.
Standarddeviationof the sample isequal tostandard deviationof the populationdividedby
square root of sample size.
Central limit theorem is applicable for a sufficiently large sample sizes (n≥30). The formula for
central limit theorem can be stated as follows:
μx¯¯¯=μ
and
σx¯¯¯=σn−−√
Where,
μ = Population mean
σ = Population standard deviation
μx¯¯¯ = Sample mean
σx¯¯¯ = Sample standard deviation
n = Sample size

Linear Regression Formula
Linear regression is the most basic and commonly used predictive analysis. One variable is
considered to be an explanatory variable, and the other is considered to be a dependent variable.
For example, a modeler might want to relate the weights of individuals to their heights using a
linear regression model.
There are several linear regression analyses available to the researcher.

Standard Error Formula
Standard error is an important statistical measure and it is concerned with standard
deviation. The accuracy of a sample that represents a population is knows through this formula.
The sample mean deviates from the population and that deviation is called standard error
formula.

Degrees of Freedom Formula
It is the number of values that remain during the final calculation of a statistic that is expected to
vary. In simple terms, these are the date used in a calculation. The degrees of freedom can be
calculated to help ensure the statistical validity of chi-square tests, t-tests, and even the more
advanced f-tests. Degrees of freedom is commonly abbreviated as ‘df’. Below mentioned is a list
of degree of freedom formulas. The number of degrees of freedom refers to the number of
independent observations in a sample minus the number of population parameters that must be
estimated from sample data.
