Product Image for Understanding Overhead CD

http:www.foundation.phccweb.org/overhead

 

The PHCC Educational Foundation's Understanding Overhead program is now available for sale. This excellent tool helps users to calculate a selling price that covers all their costs of doing business and provides the net profit percentage they desire.

The Overhead CD comes loaded with Excel spreadsheets that take users through the steps of calculating their Direct Labor Costs (for up to 10 technicians per company or department), Overhead Costs, Break-Even Rate, Profitable Selling Price, Monthly & Annual Net Profit, and Target Revenue & Profit Goals.

The CD includes narrated video tutorials to guide users through how to use the worksheets and a printed guide with additional instructions and examples. Extra tools on the CD include a Lost Time to Dollars productivity calculator and a Financial Ratios calculator to help you analyze & compare your financials against industry averages.

 
 
Business owners can use the spreadsheets in a company meeting to demonstrate to employees the true costs of doing business and why all that money they collect from customers isn't going into the owner's pocket!

PHCC chapters are encouraged to give an overview of the program at local chapter meetings to help new or small business owner members gain better control over their pricing policies. The CDs can also be used as member recruitment or retention gifts by your chapter.

The CD is available for sale through the PHCC website at www.phccweb.org,

item #9310. PHCC member pricing is $99, or $129 for non-PHCC members. Multiple copy discounts are available for PHCC chapters or other groups. Contact John Zink at the PHCC Educational Foundation for details at (800)533-7694.
