Worksheet I
Calculation of Profit Rates
With and Without Pollution Control Project Costs
A. Profit Rate Without Project Costs
PRT = EBT ÷ R
| Where: | PRT | = | Profit Rate Before Taxes |
| EBT | = | Earnings Before Taxes | |
| R | = | Reveneus |
Three Most Recently Completed Fiscal Years
| 19___ | 19 ___ | 19 ___ | ||||||
| EBT [Worksheet H, (4)] | ________ | ________ | ________ | (1) | ||||
| R [Worksheet H, (1)] | ________ | ________ | ________ | (2) | ||||
| PRT = Calculate: [(1)/(2)] | ________ | ________ | ________ | (3) | ||||
| Considerations: How have profit rates changed
over the three years? |
||||||||
| Is the most recent year typical of the three years? Yes No (If
not, you might want to use an earlier year or years for the analysis)
How do these profit rates compare with the profit rates for this line of business"? Please discuss below. |
||||||||
B. Profit Rate With Pollution Control Costs
PRPR = EWPR ÷ R
| Where: | PRPR | = |
Profit Rate With Pollution Control Costs |
| EWPR | = | Before-Tax Earnings With Pollution Control Costs | |
| R | = |
Reveneus |
|
The Most Recently Completed Fiscal Year |
|
|
19___ |
|
| EWPR [Worksheet H, (7)] | $________ (4) |
| R [Worksheet H, (1)] | $________ (5) |
| PRPR [Calculate: (4)/(5)] | ________ (6) |
Considerations:
What is the percentage change in the profit rate due to pollution control costs ? Calculate as follows: (PRPR - PR)/PR x 100
How does the profit rate with pollution control compare to the profit rate of
this line of business?
