Turn Over Ratio

It is defined as the ratio of total income to the fixed capital investment

i.e., TOR

For process industries turnover ratio is 1, thus,

Fixed Capital Investment (FCI) = Gross annual sales

`
`

But, Fixed Capital Investment = Direct cost + Indirect Cost

5.1.1 Direct Cost
Direct cost is taken as 70% of fixed capital investment

The cost involved are ,

i. Equipment cost
ii. Installation and piping cost
iii. Instrumentation cost
iv. Electrical cost
v. Piping cost
vi. Building, process and auxiliary cost
vii. Service facilities and yard improvement cost
vii. Land cost
