Well, if you decide to go with A, you'll make $1500 on the initial $500 investment.

This answer is actually a $1000 return on the $500 investment (meaning a $1000-$500 = $500 profit), correct? It seems like other people have mentioned this; can you clarify whether that's right or not SEO_Mike? (I know, gotta look at the math again heh...)
 


Awesome spreadsheet, I wish I could understand and comprehend it. I've got so much to learn. I couldn't even guess an answer because of all the business lingo ROI, CTR....?????
 
Whatever the answer is you have proved the point, too many don't know how to do basic calculations.
 
+ rep. good spreadsheet. Lately I've made it a point to build dashboards to monitor campaign performance. Keeps me informed on what is working and what is not working. Now I just need more LCDs
 
Just downloaded the spreadsheet and it's golden. I can appreciate it and it's something all of us marketers should have on hand at all times. I'm going to play with the numbers a bit and pay more attention to the numbers. Thanks again.
 
This is a great thread! I have a degree in math, though I admit these problems were a little bit of a challenge for me as I haven't used my degree in my field of work for 12 years. Also, My focus was on more theoretical math (think 4th dimensional calculus) rather than applied business math. I'm kicking myself now for not taking those classes.

Thank you for the spreadsheet!! Now to my calculator
 
I'll admit my maths isn't the best but I've been studying hard and pretty proud to say that I managed to work out the correct answer :)
 
Thanks, Mike, liking that SS :) Nice thread in general... I was gonna do the math at first but then I scrolled down and couldn't help myself.
