A brand spends ₹50,000 acquiring 100 new customers. Using CAC = acquisition cost ÷ new customers, what is CAC?
- ₹100
- ₹50
- ₹500 (correct)
- ₹5,000
Answer: ₹500. ₹50,000 ÷ 100 = ₹500 per new customer. Use a defined cost scope and a consistent acquisition period.
For this brand’s CAC calculation, include all acquisition sales and marketing costs. Which TWO inputs are needed?
- Defined acquisition sales and marketing costs (correct)
- Number of new customers acquired (correct)
- Number of logo revisions
- Total impressions only
Answer: Defined acquisition sales and marketing costs + Number of new customers acquired. CAC divides the stated acquisition costs by new customers. Keep the cost scope and timing aligned with the acquisition definition.
A brand ad receives 200 clicks from 10,000 impressions. CTR = clicks ÷ impressions × 100. What is CTR?
- 20%
- 2% (correct)
- 0.2%
- 5%
Answer: 2%. 200 ÷ 10,000 × 100 = 2%. This measures clicks relative to impressions, not purchases.
A brand spends ₹6,000 for 300 ad clicks. CPC = spend ÷ clicks. What is CPC?
- ₹2
- ₹20 (correct)
- ₹200
- ₹50
Answer: ₹20. ₹6,000 ÷ 300 = ₹20 per click. CPC says nothing by itself about customer quality.
A brand spends ₹10,000 and receives 50 leads. CPL = spend ÷ leads. What is CPL?
- ₹20
- ₹200 (correct)
- ₹2,000
- ₹500
Answer: ₹200. ₹10,000 ÷ 50 = ₹200 per lead. A lead is not automatically a customer.
A brand records ₹80,000 in attributed revenue from ₹20,000 of ad spend. ROAS = revenue ÷ ad spend. What is ROAS?
- 0.25×
- 8×
- 60×
- 4× (correct)
Answer: 4×. ₹80,000 ÷ ₹20,000 = 4×. Revenue ROAS is not a profit calculation.
A brand gets 40 orders from 2,000 sessions. Using orders ÷ sessions × 100, what is conversion rate?
- 20%
- 0.2%
- 5%
- 2% (correct)
Answer: 2%. 40 ÷ 2,000 × 100 = 2%. State the denominator because conversion-rate definitions can differ.
A brand earns ₹120,000 from 60 orders. AOV = revenue ÷ orders. What is average order value?
- ₹200
- ₹2,000 (correct)
- ₹7,200
- ₹20,000
Answer: ₹2,000. ₹120,000 ÷ 60 = ₹2,000 per order. This does not tell you how much profit each order generated.
A brand’s campaign has 30,000 impressions and reaches 10,000 people. Average frequency = impressions ÷ reach. What is it?
- 0.3
- 300
- 30
- 3 (correct)
Answer: 3. 30,000 ÷ 10,000 = 3 impressions per reached person on average. Individuals may see more or fewer.
A brand pays ₹9,000 for 300,000 impressions. CPM = spend ÷ impressions × 1,000. What is CPM?
- ₹3
- ₹3,000
- ₹300
- ₹30 (correct)
Answer: ₹30. ₹9,000 ÷ 300,000 × 1,000 = ₹30 per thousand impressions.
A brand starts with 200 subscribers and loses 10 during the month. Churn = lost ÷ starting subscribers × 100. What is it?
- 10%
- 20%
- 0.5%
- 5% (correct)
Answer: 5%. 10 ÷ 200 × 100 = 5%. New subscriptions are not part of this stated churn denominator.
A brand retains 180 of its original 200 customers over a period. What is cohort retention?
- 10%
- 90% (correct)
- 80%
- 20%
Answer: 90%. 180 ÷ 200 × 100 = 90%. This follows the original customer cohort rather than mixing in new customers.
A brand survey has 60% promoters and 20% detractors. NPS = promoter percentage minus detractor percentage. What is NPS?
- 3
- 80
- 40 (correct)
- 20
Answer: 40. 60 minus 20 = 40 NPS points. Do not report this subtraction as a revenue percentage.
A brand’s awareness moves from 20% to 25%. What is the increase in percentage points?
- 20 percentage points
- 25 percentage points
- 1.25 percentage points
- 5 percentage points (correct)
Answer: 5 percentage points. 25% minus 20% = 5 percentage points. The relative increase is a different calculation: 25%.
A brand’s conversion rate rises from 2% to 3%. What is the relative increase?
- 1%
- 150%
- 50% (correct)
- 33.3%
Answer: 50%. (3 - 2) ÷ 2 × 100 = 50%. The absolute change is 1 percentage point.
Which TWO statements about a brand’s revenue ROAS are accurate?
- It divides attributed revenue by ad spend (correct)
- It automatically proves incremental revenue
- It includes all costs without being told
- It does not by itself measure profit (correct)
Answer: It divides attributed revenue by ad spend + It does not by itself measure profit. Revenue ROAS is a revenue-to-ad-spend ratio. Profit and incrementality require additional information.
A brand uses contribution LTV of ₹6,000 and CAC of ₹2,000. What is LTV:CAC?
- 6:1
- 1:3
- 3:1 (correct)
- 4:1
Answer: 3:1. ₹6,000 ÷ ₹2,000 = 3. Keep the LTV definition and time horizon explicit before comparing ratios.
A brand’s CAC is ₹1,200 and monthly contribution per customer is ₹300. Ignoring churn and timing effects, what is payback?
- 3 months
- 4 months (correct)
- 0.25 months
- 12 months
Answer: 4 months. ₹1,200 ÷ ₹300 = 4 months in this simplified model. Real payback depends on how contribution actually arrives.
A brand’s product sells for ₹1,000 and has ₹600 of variable costs before advertising. What is contribution before advertising?
- ₹600
- ₹100
- ₹400 (correct)
- ₹1,600
Answer: ₹400. ₹1,000 - ₹600 = ₹400. This amount must still cover advertising and other remaining costs.
A brand’s contribution margin before ads is 25%. Break-even revenue ROAS = 1 ÷ margin, ignoring other costs. What is it?
- 2.5×
- 0.25×
- 25×
- 4× (correct)
Answer: 4×. 1 ÷ 0.25 = 4×. This is a simplified break-even calculation, not a universal target.
A brand gets 15 qualified leads from 60 total leads. What proportion is qualified?
- 75%
- 40%
- 15%
- 25% (correct)
Answer: 25%. 15 ÷ 60 × 100 = 25%. Define qualification criteria before using this to compare channels.
A brand closes 12 deals from 40 sales opportunities. What is opportunity win rate?
- 30% (correct)
- 3%
- 12%
- 40%
Answer: 30%. 12 ÷ 40 × 100 = 30%. This denominator is opportunities, not all website visitors.
A brand’s campaign generates 120 purchases in an equally sized test group and 100 in a comparable control. What is relative lift over control?
- 120%
- 20% (correct)
- 2%
- 16.7%
Answer: 20%. (120 - 100) ÷ 100 × 100 = 20%. Whether the difference is reliable requires uncertainty analysis.
A brand has ₹200,000 revenue and ₹80,000 gross profit. Gross margin = gross profit ÷ revenue × 100. What is it?
- 60%
- 40% (correct)
- 2.5%
- 80%
Answer: 40%. ₹80,000 ÷ ₹200,000 × 100 = 40%. Gross margin is not the same as net margin.
A brand acquires 100 customers in A at ₹500 CAC and 50 in B at ₹800 CAC. What is blended CAC?
- ₹400
- ₹600 (correct)
- ₹1,300
- ₹650
Answer: ₹600. Total acquisition cost is ₹50,000 + ₹40,000 = ₹90,000. Divide by 150 customers to get ₹600, rather than averaging the two CAC values equally.
