Which three objectives are achieved by a spread formula?
A.
Calculate the distribution of an amount among selected child territories regardless of the
metrics
B.
Spread the variance between the parent territory quota and the sum of child territory quotas to
the child territories.
C.
Calculate the ratios to use for the child territories through the use of the metric defined.
D.
Equally distribute quota from the parent territory to child territories.
E.
Distribute quota only to the parent territory.
Explanation:
A spread formula calculates the distribution of an amount among selected child
territories. For example, a spread formula takes the variance between the parent
territory quota and the sum of the quotas for the child territories, and spreads it
to the child territories (B).
The formula calculates the ratios to use for the child territories through the use
of the metric defined for the selected spread formula (C, not A). The formula examines
each territory contribution of the metric value for a period, and compares it with
the total value of the same metric for all the territories combined, to determine
the percentage to apply to each territory. When a spread formula has no metric
selected, then it distributes the amount evenly across the child territories (D).
