Notes:

  • For percentage yield: Result = (Actual Value ÷ Theoretical Value) × 100
  • For production yield: Result = (Good Units ÷ Total Units) × 100
  • For area yield: Result = Output ÷ Area (with unit conversion)
  • For efficiency yield: Result = (Actual Output ÷ Potential Output) × 100
  • For rental yield: Result = ((Annual Income - Costs) ÷ Property Value) × 100

What is Yield?

Yield is a measure of output or return in various fields, including finance, agriculture, and production. It helps assess efficiency, profitability, or productivity.

Formula for Yield Calculation

\[ \text{Yield} = \frac{\text{Actual Output}}{\text{Potential Output}} \times 100 \]

The formula varies based on the type of yield being calculated. Here are some common variations:

  • Percentage Yield: \( \frac{\text{Actual Value}}{\text{Theoretical Value}} \times 100 \)
  • Production Yield: \( \frac{\text{Good Units Produced}}{\text{Total Units Started}} \times 100 \)
  • Area Yield: \( \frac{\text{Total Output}}{\text{Area}} \)
  • Efficiency Yield: \( \frac{\text{Actual Output}}{\text{Potential Output}} \times 100 \)
  • Rental Yield: \( \frac{(\text{Annual Income} - \text{Costs})}{\text{Property Value}} \times 100 \)

What does area yield indicate?

It measures productivity per unit area in farming and resource management.

How does rental yield help property owners?

Rental yield calculates the profitability of a rental property, considering income and costs.
