Poimdage Needed To Make A Return On Investment Of 

 10 Percent, If Price Is 8^ Cents Per Pound 



A. In the case of a new large otter— trawler of same size as the ones now in 



the Boston fleet : 



Let y = revenue necessary to make $23,750 before taxes. 

 Overhead = $75,000 



Trip Expenses = 65,35 percent of gross revenue 

 then, y = .6535y -*- 75,000 + 23,750 



.3465y = 98,750 



y = $284,993 



At 8| cents per pound, this is 3,3^2,8^8 pounds per vessel. 



B. In the case of the smaller large-trawlers now being designed: 



Overhead = $61,000 



Trip expenses = 65.35 percent of gross revenue 



then, y = .6535y = 61,000 = 14,500 



.3465y = 75,500 



y = $217,893 



At 8| cents per pound, this is 2,^63,hhl pounds per vessel.
