I always wondered how come mathematics; the study of numbers and their relationship can be actually useful for a person like me who aspire a successful entrepreneur someday. Being an inquirer when I explored this, I was exposed to the concept of econometrics which deals with the application of mathematical tools in analyzing financial data and make useful conclusion.
Being involved in the family business an issue that bothered all of us especially during the time of the pandemic was the shortage of the number of workers impacting the financial ratios of the business. Before my father could actually take the decision about cutting down the number of employees I thought of analyzing the financial data of this company for the last ten years using mathematical tools like Differentiation, Integration, and Correlation Analysis to deduce a scientifically supported decision. While preparing the outline I realized that I need to learn certain new formulas and concepts of trigonometric functions for my research.
The study would help prepare the business to take calculated risks and the right decisions to grow it. Also to recover from the loss due to the pandemic situation, the study would be useful.
To what extent is there a correlation between the number of employees and the marginal profit, total profit of Gems and Jewelers, Ahmadabad, India. Determine using differentiation of trigonometric function, integration of trig function, regression analysis and Pearson’s correlation analysis.
By regression of a variable y on another variable x, we mean the dependence of y on x, on the average. In bivariate analysis, one of the major problems is the prediction of the value of the dependent variable y when the value of the independent variable x is known.
Regression coefficient gives the increment in y for a unit increase in x or vice versa. The expression of the regression coefficient (y on x) is given by
byx = \(\frac{cov(x,y)}{var(x)}\)
By correlation we mean the association or interdependence between two variables. If two variables be so related that a change in the magnitude of one of them is accompanied by a change in magnitude of the other, they are said to be correlated.
A measure of the correlation between two variables x and y is Karl Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient which is defined by,
rxy = \(\frac{cov(x,y)}{\sqrt{var(x)}\sqrt{var(y)}}\) where,
cov(x,y) denotes the covariance of the two variables x and y; var(x) and var(y) denotes the variances of the variables.
If we are given n pairs of values (xi,yi), i = 1(1)n, of variables x and y.
Trigonometric functions are the functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle the ratios of the length of the two sides. The main fuctions are sine, cosine and tangent and their reciprocals are cosecant, secant and cotangent respectively.
The sine angle is defined as the ratio of perpendicular upon hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle. The cosine is defined as the ratio of base upon hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle. Tangent is defined as the ratio of perpendicular upon base.
There are also inverse functions of the three main functions sine, cosine and tangent.
Let y = f(x) be a single valued function of x defined in some interval. Let x be any value of x in the domain of definition of the function and the corresponding value of y is y = f(x). Suppose, for an increment ∆x of x the corresponding increment in y is ∆y.
\(\frac{∆y}{∆x}=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\)
is called the derivative of the function y with respect to x, provided the limit exists.
Let f(x) be a bounded single valued continuous function defined in the interval [a,b]. The interval [a,b] is divided into n equal sub-intervals, each of length h then, \(\displaystyle\int\limits^b_af(x)dx=h\sum^{n-1}_{r=0}f(a+rh)\) is the integration or the integral of the function f(x) with respect to x between the limits a and b.

Now, we will calculate the marginal profit and total profit from marginal revenue, total revenue, marginal cost and total cost.
Sample calculation:
Marginal profit and total profit for the year 2010 are,
Marginal revenue – Marginal cost = Marginal Profit = (-0.621 - (-1.371)) million USD = -1.992 million USD
Total revenue – Total cost = Total Profit = (-14331.19 - 25167.818) million USD = -39499.008 million USD
Now, we will find the correlation between the number of employees and marginal profit, number of employees and total profit. We will find out the correlation using Karl Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient which is given by,
\(r_{xy}=\frac{cov(x,y)}{\sqrt{var(x)\sqrt{var(y)}}}\) where,
cov(x,y) denotes the covariance of the two variables x and y; var(x) and var(y) vary denotes the variances of the variables. If we are given n pairs of values (xi,yi), i =1(1)n, of variables x and y.
Here, x is the number of employees and y is the marginal profit.
\(cov(x,y)=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}(x_i-\bar x)(y_i-\bar y),\) where \(\bar x\) and \(\bar y\) are the means of the variables x and y respectively
\(=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}x_iy_i-\bar {xy}\)
\(Var(x)=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i}(x_i-\bar x)^2=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i}x_i^2-\bar x^2\)
Similarly,
\(Var(y)=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i}(y_i-\bar y)^2=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i}y_i^2-\bar y^2\)
So, we can write,
\(r_{xy}=\frac{cov(x,y)}{\sqrt{var(x)\sqrt{var(y)}}}\)
\(=\frac{\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}{x_iy_i-\bar{xy}}}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i}{x_{i^2}-x^{-2}}}\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i}{y_{i^2-}y^{-2}}}}\)
\(=\frac{n\sum\limits_{i}{x_iy_i-(\sum\limits_iy_i)(\sum\limits_iy_i)}}{\sqrt{n\sum\limits_{i}{x_{i^2}-(\sum\limits_ix_i)^2}}\sqrt{n\sum\limits_{i}{y_{i^2}-(\sum\limits_iy_i)^2}}}\)
Now, we will find the correlation between number of employees and marginal profit.
\(r_{xy}=\frac{n\sum\limits_{i}{x_iy_i-(\sum\limits_ix_i)(\sum\limits_iy_i)}}{\sqrt{n\sum\limits_{i}{x_{i^2}-(\sum\limits_ix_i)^2}}\sqrt{n\sum\limits_{i}{y_{i^2}-(\sum\limits_iy_i)^2}}}\)
\(\frac{10(-19920+1442.1+2131.1+5325+4689.5+4503+2702.7+3436.5+12792)-112150×0.986}{\sqrt{10×628445441-(112150)^2}\sqrt{10×5.98^2-(0.986)^2}}\)
= 0.47
Now, we will find the correlation between number of employees and total profit.
\(r_{xy}=\frac{n\sum\limits_{i}{x_iy_i-(\sum\limits_ix_i)(\sum\limits_iy_i)}}{\sqrt{n\sum\limits{x_{i^2}-(\sum\limits_ix_i)^2}}\sqrt{n\sum\limits{y_{i^2}-(\sum\limits_iy_i)^2}}}\)
= 0.58
Now, we will find out the regression coefficient between the number of employees and total profit.
We have,
\(b_{yx}=\frac{cov(x,y)}{var(x)}\)
\(=\frac{n\sum\limits_ix_iy_i-(\sum\limits_{i}x_i)(\sum\limits_iy_i)}{n\sum x_i^2-(\sum\limits_ix_i)^2}\)
= 0.46
Now, we will find out the regression coefficient between the number of employees and marginal profit.
\(b_{yx}=\frac{cov(x,y)}{var(x)}\)
\(=\frac{n\sum\limits_ix_iy_i-(\sum\limits_{i}x_i)(\sum\limits_iy_i)}{n\sum x_i^2-(\sum\limits_ix_i)^2}\)
\(\frac{10(-19920+1442.1+2131.1+5325+4689.5+4503+2702.7+3436.5+12792)}{10×628445441-(112150)^2}\)
= 0.34
At first, we took a data set of values of quantity of products sold, revenue of products sold for each year, starting from the year 2010 to the year 2019. Then, we analyzed the trend between the quantity of products sold and the revenue of the products sold and following the trend, we defined the revenue of products sold as a function of the quantity of products sold and from there, we calculated the marginal revenue and the total revenue. Similarly, we took a data set of values of the cost of products for each year, from the year 2010 to 2019 and calculated the marginal cost and total cost by analyzing the trend between them. Thereafter, we found out the marginal profit and total profit and took the data set of number of employees and found out the correlation and regression between them. From the correlation and regression coefficient we can conclude the following:
The data used to do the study the trends between the quantity of products sold, revenue and cost is not very wide ranged. The study would have been more coherent if a larger sample size was used. The mathematical analysis would have been more efficient if realistic factors related to a business and higher level statistical and mathematical tools like time series analysis, sampling theory, non linear regression analysis, double integration etc were used. The trends between the quantity of products, revenue of products sold and cost of products could be more efficiently analyzed and could be a more perfect fit to the data by having a detailed knowledge on mathematical functions.
