Estimating Marketing & Sales Expenses (% sales)
Data Challenge: Use 75% of SGA as an estimate of MSE

NMC is:
NMC = Gross - Marketing & Profit Sales Exp.
Gross Profit
$48.5M
Mktg. & Sales Expenses
$18.5M
Marketing Return on Investment (ROI)
= NMC/Mktg & Sales Exp. X 100%
= $30 million/ $18.5 million x 100%
= 162%
In this case, for every $1 invested in Marketing & Sales Expenses, the company produces $1.62 in marketing profits.
