Returns Impact Analysis
Estimated Returns = Total Units × Return Rate
Lost Revenue = (Total Sales / Total Units) × Returns
Refund Fees = Lost Revenue × Refund Fee %
Restocking Credit = (Product Cost × Returns) × Restock Fee %
Total Cost = (Product Cost × Returns) + Refund Fees – Restocking Credit
Net Revenue = Total Sales – Lost Revenue – Refund Fees + Restocking Credit
Margin Impact = (Total Cost / Total Sales) × 100%
