The normal rate of return is the calculation of profits obtained from an investment after subtracting costs, used by investors and businesses to determine profitability. It can also be used to assess the profitability of starting a new business, taking into account factors such as location and industry risk.
The normal rate of return is used to describe the rate of profit or loss on an investment. That is, it is the calculation of the profits obtained from an investment after subtracting the costs of capital, investment and operation. It’s a benchmark that investors use to decide if a company is a worthy investment or if they should look elsewhere. Businesses also use it to calculate whether and at what percentage the business is making a reasonable profit.
This assessment can be used by someone trying to start a new business. The information can be obtained by studying the published earnings of a spectrum for a similar business in the industry, taking into account factors such as the environment and other issues that may affect that particular business in its proposed location. For example, a potential watch manufacturing entrepreneur may study the profit or loss rate for that industry with respect to things like government regulations, taxes, import duties, and other factors that can affect the profitability of the business. A company’s profit is generally affected by such considerations, even if product sales and prices are similar in different markets.
Two companies may make the same product, sell the same quantity per month at the same price, and yet the normal rate of return may be different. This may be due to the location of the companies. One of the companies might be located in an environment where the government grants certain tax concessions and reduces customs duties for some necessary raw materials. Another factor that can affect the rate is whether the company can hire cheap labor. The operating cost will be cheaper than another similar company where the environment is not so favorable and it generates higher profits.
In various industries, the normal rate of return is also affected and determined by the different single markets. For example, a clothing manufacturing industry will have a different rate from the automobile manufacturing industry. One of the factors that affect how a market could be described as profitable is the risk factor associated with the industry. Industries with higher risk factors typically require a high margin of return before they can be declared profitable, unlike lower risk markets that can be considered successful with only a fraction of the same profit.
