Estimate the Total Yearly Expense Change

Total Yearly Expense Change = (How many more or less units to be purchased) x (unit price)

Examples
  • Outsourcing cleaning will reduce yearly expenses for cleaning solutions by $52,000. (800 fewer cases per year) x ($65 per case)
  • Integrating touchless takeout will increase yearly expense for takeout packaging by $900,000. (6000 more cases per year) x ($150 per case)

  • Switching credit cards will eliminate a $375,000 yearly expense for annual fees. (5000 cards) x ($75 fee per card)


Tips

  • As a first pass, it may be easier to estimate a percentage increase or decrease for an estimated total yearly expense, rather than considering units and unit price.

  • Validators may separate generalized Value Items (cleaning supplies) into more specific categories (cleaning solution) as needed.
