Strategies for reaching profitability targets Sample Clauses

Strategies for reaching profitability targets. As stated above, it is likely that only few or none of the BIOCORE processes will reach the target of an IRR of 25%. We will not stop at this finding but will ask what measures could be taken for reaching this profitability target. The first objective could be to increase revenues. Since the physical product outputs are given, this would have to be achieved through higher product prices. We will therefore look, first, at the impacts of increased prices for all biorefinery end products through a politically motivated price support mechanism. Since any such subsidy system would need strong arguments in order to attain political support, we will compare the level of necessary price support for BIOCORE products with the current support for biofuels. Second, we look at the effects of increased market prices for single end products through the GreenPremium mechanism. The second objective could be to cut costs. Those production costs could be defined that would generate the desired profitability, i.e. the so-called target costs. The basic idea of Target Costing (TC) is to begin the costing of new products starting with the achievable market price derived from the market research to derive the allowable costs by subtracting a desired profit from this market price. The rationale behind this approach is that in complex processes, end products tend to be more expensive than the market allows if this is not prevented early in the design stage.

The Board considered the estimated costs to XXXX, and pre-tax profits realized by XXXX, from advising the DWS Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DIMA and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the Fee Consultant reviewed XXXX’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by XXXX in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. The Board also reviewed certain publicly available information regarding the profitability of certain similar investment management firms. The Board noted that, while information regarding the profitability of such firms is limited (and in some cases is not necessarily prepared on a comparable basis), DIMA and its affiliates’ overall profitability with respect to the DWS Funds (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by XXXX and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of most comparable firms for which such data was available. Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether the Fund benefits from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Fund’s investment management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between the Fund and DIMA of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Fund at current asset levels.
