Abstract: In recent years, facing increasing operating pressure, it is more and more important to improve the operating
efficiency of the company. This paper integrates the industry and finance data, studies the collection and
allocation logic of the income and cost of a single project, and realizes the benefit calculation of a single
project. On this basis, it establishes the comprehensive benefit evaluation index system of the project, carries
out the projected portrait, assists the company's business optimization, helps to optimize the company's
resource allocation, and promotes high-quality development.
1 INTRODUCTION
On the one hand, with the deepening of the
implementation of the transmission and distribution
tariff reform and the impact of multiple factors such
as the outbreak of COVID-19 and the reduction of
industrial and commercial electricity prices at the
national level, the power grid enterprises' growth in
electricity consumption has slowed down, the profit
level has dropped significantly and the cost
expenditures have been continuously cut down,
which directly affects the company's operating
income and the operating pressure has increased
significantly. On the other hand, the in-depth
development of key work such as multi-dimensional
lean management system reform and special action
for quality and efficiency improvement puts forward
higher requirements for the company's quality and
efficiency improvement and lean management. In this
context, the company began to comprehensively
explore the application of business and financial data
and value mining, divide small value reflection units,
study the calculation logic of the benefits of a single
project, carry out the company's operation quality and
efficiency analysis at multiple levels on the basis of

realizing the calculation of the benefits of a single
project, and on this basis, from the perspective of
profitability Establish the comprehensive benefit
evaluation index system of the project from the three
aspects of development capacity and cost structure,
carry out the quantitative scoring of the
comprehensive benefit of the project, assist the
company's business optimization, and provide
reference for the company's resource allocation
decision-making.

2.1 Sort Out Business Types
The company has five business departments, which
are respectively responsible for the development and
implementation of different types of business. Based
on the investigation of each department, the project
types carried out by the five departments are sorted
out and determined.

2.2 Benefit Calculation of Single
Project
Based on the income and cost data directly calculated
by each project, as well as the apportioned indirect
costs and public expenses of each project, the benefit
calculation of a single project is carried out.
Project profit = project revenue - project direct cost
- apportionment of indirect costs - apportionment of
public expenses
Among them, the projected revenue and project
direct cost have been calculated according to a single
project and can be directly collected; The indirect cost
of the project includes depreciation expense,
amortization of intangible assets, research and

development expense, repair expense, amortization of
low-value consumables, office expense, travel
expense, labor protection expense, etc. it has been
accounted to the business department, but not to a
single project, so it needs to be apportioned among
various projects; Public expenses include financial
expenses and asset impairment losses, which are not
accounted for to specific departments. They need to be
split among business departments first and then
allocated to a single item.
2.2.1 General Idea of Cost Allocation
Firstly, the public expenses and the costs incurred by
the public sector are shared among the five business
departments; Secondly, the cost calculated to the
business department is allocated to every single
project, so as to realize the cost accounting at the level
of a single project.
Figure 2：Cost allocation idea.
2.2.2 Cost Allocation Driver Settings at
All Levels
Public expenses and public sector costs: distinguish
different costs and cost drivers, and set allocation
rules. Among them, the depreciation of fixed assets is
apportioned according to the original value ratio of
fixed assets of five business departments; Asset
impairment loss shall be apportioned according to the
proportion of accounts receivable balance of five
business departments; Other expenses shall be
apportioned in proportion to the project income of the
five business departments.
Project indirect cost: when the costs and expenses
that have been calculated to each business department
are allocated among individual projects, the allocation
rules are set according to different costs and expense
drivers. Among them, R & D expenses are only
apportioned among R & D related projects according
to the scale of project income; Other expenses shall be
apportioned according to the income scale of each
project.

2.3 Build the Comprehensive Benefit
Evaluation Model of the Project
2.3.1 Establish the Comprehensive
Benefit Evaluation Index System of
the Project
From the perspective of profitability, development
capacity, and cost structure, the project benefit
evaluation index system is constructed. In terms of
profitability, it mainly focuses on profit scale and
profit margin, which comprehensively reflects the
overall benefit level of the project. The development
capacity mainly refers to the project revenue scale,
reflecting the development space of this kind of
business. The cost structure mainly includes the
project cost scale and the proportion of the direct cost,
reflecting the cost control ability of the project.

2.3.2 Indicator Weight Setting and
Scoring Rule Confirmation
The index weight is set according to the importance
of the index, in which the weight of profit scale and
profit margin is 30%, the weight of income scale is
20%, and the weight of cost scale and the direct cost
is 10%.
Analyze the consistency between the change
direction of various indicators and the company's
strategic objectives. The larger the profit scale, profit
margin, and income scale indicators, the smaller the
cost scale indicators in the cost structure, and the
larger the direct cost proportion indicators, the better.
Sort the index values of various projects and take the
sorting number as the index score. Among them, the
larger the index value, the better the index is sorted
according to the larger the value and the larger the
sorting number; The smaller the index value, the
better. The smaller the index value and the larger the
ranking number is, and the index scores of various
projects are calculated.

2.3.3 Use the Evaluation Model for
Comprehensive Scoring
The weighted comprehensive scores of various
indicators of various projects are calculated according
to the weight, and the comprehensive scores are
sorted. The larger the comprehensive score, the
higher the ranking. The top projects are those with
better benefits, which are given priority under the
same conditions.
2.3.4 Case Analysis
Firstly, based on the benefit calculation results of a
single project, calculate the specific indicators such as
project profit, profit margin, project income, project
cost, and the proportion of project direct cost of
various projects.
It can be seen from the calculation results: in
addition to the sporadic printing services of the
printing center, from the perspective of the average
profit scale of the project, the vehicle service project
of the logistics service center has the largest average
profit scale; The second is the measurement
technology service projects of the measurement
service center. In terms of average profit margin, the
top three are the vehicle service of the logistics service
center, the measurement technical service of the
measurement service center, and various projects of
the printing center. The logistics service, material
service, and other profit margins of the measurement
service center are negative. In terms of average sales
revenue, the top three projects are the property
management of the measurement service center, the
property management of the logistics service center,
and the equipment purchase agent of the engineering
repair and test center.

Then, sort and score according to various index
attributes, calculate the comprehensive benefit score
of various projects according to the set index weight
and sort the calculation results in descending order.
The results are shown in the table below.
From the comprehensive score, in addition to the
sporadic printing services of the printing center, the
top three are the vehicle service of the logistics service
center, the measurement technology service of the
measurement service center, and the property
management of the logistics service center. It is
suggested to give priority to these projects under the
constraints of resources.
