Theme 7. Analysis of foreign economic activity

1. (Contents, essence and structure of economic analysis of foreign economic activity of enterprise

Task of economic analysis of foreign economic activity of enterprise Structure of analysis of efficiency of foreign trade operations

Efficiency of foreign economic activity of enterprise is an economic category that represents effectiveness of the use of resources and settles accounts as correlation of indexes of result (to the effect) of activity and expenses (sums of the resources used for his achievement).

Principles of settling of indexes of efficiency of foreign economic activity of enterprise :

1. Principle of all-round account of all component charges and results of activity - envisages complete and correct recreation of corresponding indexes in the documents of operative, statistical and book-keeping account.

2. Principle of comparison of charges and results of activity in time - envisages taking into account at settling of indexes of efficiency of change of value of moneys as a result of action of inflationary process.

3. Principle of quantitative comparison of charges and results of activity - envisages comparison of indexes after identical quantitative units.

4. Principle of comparison with a base variant — envisages the use of settling of indexes of efficiency for the aims of economic analysis and prognostication.

Criterion of efficiency of foreign economic activity is maximization of result (to the effect) on unit of the inlaid resources (charges)

2. Analysis of foreign trade turnover of enterprise

F oreign trade turnover
	summarizing economic performance indicator of foreign economic activity of enterprise
	the combined volume of export and import of enterprise for certain period

Classification of foreign trade turnover of enterprise

Sign of classification	Constituents of foreign trade turnover	Description
I. After kinds	1. Export	volume of the commodities realized by an enterprise outside a country
	2. Import	volume of the commodities brought in by an enterprise with the aim of realization on territory of country
II. After structural elements	1. Commodity structure	distribution of types of foreign economic activity of enterprise is after principal commodity items
	2. Regional structure	distribution of types of foreign economic activity of enterprise is after the groups of countries and regions

Stage 1. Analysis of dynamics of volume and structure of fea of enterprise

1. Settling of structural coefficients (general volume of activity, commodity structure of export/of import, geographical orientation of export/of imports) - settling of part pf corresponding indexes (to the export/of import in the general volume of, activity, commodity groups/of types of products in the volume of export/of import, types of products in the cut of countries of export/of import)

2. Research of influence of factors on the changes of indexes of export /of import for singing measurable commodities within the limits of commodity group:

1. Index of amount of commodities:

2. Sum QiPo

Sum QoPo

3. Settling of structural coefficients (general volume of activity, commodity structure of export/of import, geographical orientation of export/of imports) - settling

where, Qi,o - amount of commodities accordingly current and base period,

Pi,o - cost of commodities accordingly current and base period.

3. Indexes of price:

T.Oi Pi

4. Indexes of price = Sum QiPi

Sum QiPo
