A managed floating exchange rate is a hybrid system where a country's currency value is primarily determined by market forces (supply and demand), but the government and central bank intervene when necessary to stabilize the rate. India adopted this system in 1991, and over 40% of countries worldwide follow it.

The profit-sharing ratio is the proportion in which partners of a partnership firm divide the profits earned from business operations. When a new partner joins, an existing partner retires, or responsibilities change, the ratio must be revised − this revised ratio is called the new profit-sharing ratio. Formula $$\mathrm{New\:Ratio = Old\:Ratio - Sacrificing\:Ratio}$$ $$\mathrm{Sacrificing\:Ratio = Old\:Ratio - New\:Ratio}$$ For retirement or death of a partner − $$\mathrm{New\:Ratio = Old\:Ratio + Gaining\:Ratio}$$ $$\mathrm{Gaining\:Ratio = \frac{Retired\:Partner's\:Share \times Individual\:Acquisition\:Ratio}{Total\:Acquisition\:Ratio}}$$ Example Calculation Case 1: New Partner Joins A, B, and C are partners sharing profits ...

Net National Product (NNP) is the total market value of all finished goods and services produced by a nation's citizens (both domestic and overseas) minus depreciation. It is a key indicator of economic growth because it accounts for the wear and tear of assets used in production. Formula $$\mathrm{NNP = GNP - Depreciation}$$ Or equivalently − $$\mathrm{NNP = MVFG + MVFS - Depreciation}$$ Where MVFG = market value of finished goods, MVFS = market value of finished services, and Depreciation = capital consumption allowance (CCA). Example Calculation If Country X produces $2 trillion ...

The marginal product formula measures the change in total output when one additional unit of a production factor (labor, machinery, capital) is added. It helps businesses predict whether adding resources will increase production efficiently. Formula $$\mathrm{Marginal\:Product = \frac{Q^{n} - Q^{n-1}}{L^{n} - L^{n-1}}}$$ Where − Qn − Current total production output Qn-1 − Previous production output (before the change) Ln − Current number of production units (workers, machines) Ln-1 − Previous number of production units Step-by-Step Calculation Consider an ice cream manufacturer that produces 10, 000 cones/day with 3 employees. After hiring 2 ...
