Social Enterprise Learning Modules

Social enterprises are businesses operated by non-profit organizations for the dual purpose of generating income through sales
and achieving a social outcome. Social enterprises blend social and financial objectives.

Their success requires a unique set of governance, management and operation tools, and skills and resources that utilize,

The Social Enterprise Learning Modules, included in this toolkit, cover the basic elements that a person or organization should
pursue and understand if they are going to participate as a board member, manager, paid staff or volunteer at a social
enterprise.

• Net Profit Margin = (Revenue – (COS + Operating Expenses)) / Revenue

Operational Efficiency
• Operating Expense Ratio = (Expense / Revenue)
• Inventory Turnover = (Average COS / Average Inventory)
Where: Average Inventory = (Ending balance – Beginning) / 2

• Breakeven Analysis = Total Fixed Cost / (Unit Sale Price – Unit Variable Cost)

24

Ratio Calculations (continued)

Liquidity Ratios
• Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
• Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current Liabilities
