Profitability evaluation comparison

The objective of the simulation study therefore was a comparison of the profitability and the flexibility between an existing standard multipurpose plant and different conceivable pipeless plant scenarios. Based on the production data of the existing plant, an optimal pipeless plant setup was developed and representative production plans were simulated and evaluated. 

Use Research., Use research is applied research in the laboratory, field, or plant aimed at determining the potential profitable applications for the new plastic. Such research would include the evaluation and comparison of the new material with potentially competitive material now successfully used. 

Evaluate the financial impact of third-party reimbursement on the pharmacy using an average net profit comparison, a differential analysis, and a pro forma analysis. 

To conduct a pro forma analysis, it is necessary to construct two income statements using information from the current income statement and knowledge about the pharmacy and the third-party contract being evaluated. Information from the average net profit comparison and the differential analysis also will be needed. An example of a pro forma analysis for Good Service Pharmacy is presented in Table 16-6. The... 

It is important to note that the use of Logsdon et al. s objective function will not change the number of plates and operating policies if the mixtures were to share the column by a certain fraction of time (the profit function of Logsdon et al. does not include the allocation time). However, for different allocation time to each mixture, the total number of batches for each separation, individual and total yearly profit, etc. can be evaluated by using the results presented in Table 7.7. These are summarised in Table 7.8. Comparison of the results in Table 7.4 and 7.8 clearly... 

Methods for including the cost of capital in economic analyses have been discussed in Chap. 7. Although the management and stockholders of each company must establish the company s characteristic cost of capital, the simplest approach is to assume that investment of capital is made at a hypothetical cost or rate of return equivalent to the total profit or rate of return over the full expected life of the particular project. This method has the advantage of putting the profitability analysis of all alternative investments on an equal basis, thereby permitting a clear comparison of risk factors. This method is particularly useful for preliminary estimates, but it may need to be refined further to take care of income-tax effects for final evaluation. 

R. Brill has carried out a series of experiments which indicate very clearly the influence of particle size on the sharpness of the Debye-Scherrer lines for iron powder. There is quite a powerful effect, the evaluation of which would be very profitable. Scherrer has already established in the work previously mentioned that the particle sizes of colloidal gold calculated by the use of his formula agree very satisfactorily with those obtained by the Zsigmondy method of direct counting. Later, Brill compared the different relations available for the computation with one another and obtained the data contained in Table 72. This includes a comparison of the relation originally given by Scherrer with the Laue formula modified by Brill and Pelzer. Various preparations of very fine-grained iron, which are of importance in the technique of catalysis in the ammonia process, served as material. 

Evaluation and Commercial Considerations. The evaluation that follows collection of the data can profitably use a method of differences. Each technology is evaluated for each factor against a base case. The technology most familiar to the evaluators (or for which the most reliable information is available) is a natural choice for the base case. The relative capital costs of all candidate processes are then assembled, area-by-area. The comparison must not be confined to the eleetrolyzers and their auxiliaries but should include the differences seen in the following ... 

MCD spectra can profitably separate contributions from multiple metal centres to a protein electronic spectrum, be used to evaluate metallo-biological systems without complications from the protein milieu , determine zero-field splitting, assign electronic transitions, provide information about a chromophore s electronic structure, evaluate theoretical models, obtain magnetic properties (g values, spin states, magnetic coupling) and be used for structural comparison of model and biological systems.
