Throughput (T) is the rate at which the system produces "goal units". When the goal units are money [ 9 ] (in for-profit businesses), throughput is net sales (S) less totally variable cost (TVC), generally the cost of the raw materials (T = S – TVC).
Using Little's Law, one can calculate throughput with the equation: = where: I is the number of units contained within the system, inventory; T is the time it takes for all the inventory to go through the process, flow time; R is the rate at which the process is delivering throughput, flow rate or throughput.
Multiplying the set of processes would give you Rolling throughput yield (RTY). RTY is equal to FPYofA * FPYofB * FPYofC * FPYofD = 0.8500 * 0.8889 * 0.8125 * 0.8267 = 0.5075 Notice that the number of units going into each next process does not change from the original example, as that number of good units did, indeed, enter the next process.
In addition to the absolute pass-through that uses incremental values (i.e., $2 cost shock causing $1 increase in price yields a 50% pass-through rate), some researchers use pass-through elasticity, where the ratio is calculated based on percentage change of price and cost (for example, with elasticity of 0.5, a 2% increase in cost yields a 1% increase in price).
Given an arrival rate λ, a dropout rate σ, and a departure rate μ, length of the queue L is defined as: L = λ − σ μ {\displaystyle L={\frac {\lambda -\sigma }{\mu }}} . Assuming an exponential distribution for the rates, the waiting time W can be defined as the proportion of arrivals that are served.
The velocity of money provides another perspective on money demand.Given the nominal flow of transactions using money, if the interest rate on alternative financial assets is high, people will not want to hold much money relative to the quantity of their transactions—they try to exchange it fast for goods or other financial assets, and money is said to "burn a hole in their pocket" and ...
Formally, exchange-rate pass-through is the elasticity of local-currency import prices with respect to the local-currency price of foreign currency. It is often measured as the percentage change , in the local currency , of import prices resulting from a one percent change in the exchange rate between the exporting and importing countries. [ 1 ]
The implication is that if the gross profit volume was related to wage costs to establish the rate of surplus value, this might overstate or understate the real rate of labor-exploitation. Although this is a subtle point, it has sometimes played an important role in wage bargaining negotiations by trade unions .
