Measures of Profitability
• Return on Investment (ROI)
– ROI=annual earnings/capital investment
– ROI > cost of capital (commercial interest rate, i)
•
•
•
•
•
Payback period (PBP)
Annualized Cost (CA)
Venture profit (VP)
Same
Investor’s Rate of Return (IRR)
Discounted Cash Flow Rate of Return (DCFR)
• Hard work to get this all together
Definitions of Profitability Measures
How to determine ROI
• Sales revenue minus Costs
– Cost of feedstocks
– Cost of Utilities
– Cost of Labor and Maintenance
– Cost of Overhead
– Cost of Taxes and Insurance
– Cost of Depreciation
– Cost of sales force, R&D, Admin.,
Management Incentives
Utilities

Steam
Electricity
Cooling Water
Process Water
– Boiler Water
– Feed Stock water/Steam
• Refrigeration
• Fuels
– Natural Gas
– Fuel Oil
– Coal
• Waste Treatment
– Stack Gas Cleanup
– Waste Water Treatment
• Land fill cost for solid waste
Costs
Depreciation
• Straight-line Depreciation
– Equipment Lifetime – Plant = 12 yr
– Constant % each year so that plant is totally
written off at end of life time
• 8% of Total Depreciable Capital, CTDC
– What would be the depreciation % for 20 yr
lifetime?
• Other types of depreciation

Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ARCS)
Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MARCS) for Taxes
Declining-Balance Method (DB)
Double Declining-Balance Method (DDB)
Others
More On Depreciation
• Declining Balance Method (no salvage value)
– d= range from 1/n to 2/n, typically use 1.5/n
• Double Declining Balance Method (no salvage
value)
– d=2/n
• Depreciation amount for year t, Dt=B*d*(1-d)t-1
• Book Value after year t, BVt-1 =B(1-d)t-1
– B=basis = CTDC
– n= service life
– t=year
More On Depreciation
• ACRS – Federal Tax Law 1982 – 1986
• MACRS - Federal Tax Law in 1987
Accelerated
Cost Recovery
System
More on Depletion (of natural
resource)
• Cost Depletion = Units
recovered this
year*Unit value
– Unit Value =
Cost to acquire
resource/estimate of
recoverable units
• Percentage Depletion
Taxes
• Property Taxes
– Based upon the value of the property
• Used in Cost of Manufacturing
• Severance Tax = 12.5% of extracted
mineral’s net value
• State Taxes
– Very between states, UT = 6.2%
• Federal Income Tax for Business
– Typically taken to be 34% of gross earnings
Total Production Cost, C
• Cost of Manufacturing minus general
expenses
• C=COM-General Expenses
• General Expenses
– Selling expenses, R&D, Admin. (top
management), Management Incentive
Package
Cost of Manufacturing (COM)
• Direct manufacturing costs
– Feedstocks, Utilities, labor related to
operations, maintenance
• Operating overhead
• Fixed costs
– Property Tax, Insurance, Depreciation
Pre-tax (Gross) Earnings
• Gross Earnings = Sales (S) – Total Productin Cost (C)
• Net Earnings(Profit) = (1-t) Gross Earnings
– Tax (t) = State (UT=6.2%) + Federal taxes (34%)
Working Capital, CWC
Typically 15 % CTCI
More Accurate Working Capital Calculation
CWC=Cash Reserves+Inventory+accounts receivableaccounts payable
• Cash reserves - 30 days of raw materials, utilities,
operations, Maintenance, operating overhead, property
taxes, insurance and depreciation 8.33% of COM
• Inventories = 7 days of products at sales prices
• Accounts receivable - 30 days at sales price 8.33% of
annual sales
• Accounts payable – 30 days of feedstocks at purchase
price, 8.33% of annual feed stock costs

and 1.25 used for Alaska
Definitions of Profitability Measures
Selling Price for Given ROI
• For a new product without an established market
• Sale price may very
– High Sales price
• Assume ROI say 40% (This is a home run!!)
• Back calculate the sales price.
– Low Sales price
• Set VP to Zero
• Back calculate the sales price
• (this is the same as ROI calc above when or imin is
20%)
ROI is not good enough for cash
poor companies
• They use annual Cash flow
• Years of Plant construction
CF = -fCTDC-CWC-Cland
• Years of Plant Operation
CF = (1-t)(S-C)+D
• Depreciation D=fCTDC
• f= fraction of TDC which is depreciated
that year
