In rita book, there is already all calculation formula in an one table in last book!!! In PMP exam, it concerned EVM as simple calculation, PDM as simple calculation, EMV as simple, communication channel, three point estimation (PERT) and sometimes PTA & make or buy analysis for procurement. For economical, very few questions!!! The calculation in PMP exam are very easy!!!

The formulae (plural of formula) calculations that are part of the PMBOK are those related to EVM (Earned Value Management), Risk Management and a few related to Quality. These formulae are quite simple, provided you have gained a good understanding of the knowledge ares of the respective domain - Integration, Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, Risk.
Please understand that the information in PMBOK is to be understood. And if you have some difficulty in understanding some concepts / ideas, please discuss it with somebody and get it clarified. PMP Exam requires you to have a good understanding of the information given in the PMBOK. It is only a Guide.

Any of them can appear, so better to study up on all of them.

We cannot stress only few formulas. Better to go with all the related formulas.
