Profitability analysis approximate

Simplified Profitability Criteria. Approximate profitabihty criteria that do not require a detailed year-by-year financial analysis are sometimes employed as simple figure-of-merit measures. 

Chapters 16 and 17, on cost accounting and capital cost estimation, and profitability analysis, respectively, provide a comprehensive treatment of these subjects. Both approximate and rigorous methods are presented. Equations are provided for estimating the purchase cost of a... 

These additional costs sum to approximately 48,902. Together with the Other item on line 10 of the Contract Summary, 49,900, and Code of Accounts item 105, for equipment contingencies to allow for design changes, 4,700, these sum to approximately 103,500 (which, for profitability analysis in the conceptual design stage, is sufficiently close to 113,800, the difference reported above). 

Profit I is the approximation of the contribution margin I, which is subject to analysis to evaluate short-term profitability... 

Figure 6-3 gives a graphical analysis of the effect on costs and profits when the rate of production varies. As indicated in this figure, the fixed costs remain constant and the total product cost increases as the rate of production increases. The point where the total product cost equals the total income is known as the break-even point. Under the conditions shown in Fig. 6-3, an ideal production rate for this chemical processing plant would be approximately 450,000 kg/month, because this represents the point of maximum net earnings. 

The errors encountered with a given level of theory in calculation of vibrational intensities are considerably more profound than those in the frequencies. Meaningless results are common unless the basis set is of double-C quality and contains polarization functions. The double-harmonic approximation is another source of error. Nonetheless, the effects of H-bonding upon the intensity of each mode can be profitably studied within this framework. Analysis of these intensities sheds light upon the electronic density perturbations caused by formation of the bond. 

As illustrated by our analysis of the desalinator, the profitability of a process is a balance between capital costs and operating costs. Capital costs are the expenses of building. The chief capital costs, in approximate order of appearance when building a chemical process, are the costs to...
