How to Use the DuPont Model
🔥 Hello,
DuPont Model is a very ancient formula and it is very useful.
In the simpler expression = EBIT / Revenue * Revenue / funds engaged =.
Funds engaged = fixed assets plus working capital needed.
The first term of formula gives the result of the management work, what is the margin produced! The second term indicates the productivity of funds committed in a business.
My professional speciality is the study of investments and to raise funds to finance the project.
Heavy industry, large commercial margin and low productivuty of capital. How many $ I produce with one $ of investment.
At the opposite, light industry, low margin and high productivity of funds invested.
In my case, the taxation and modality of financing are not taken in consideration in a first appraisal. The last is completed by the IRR calculation.
With the two, Dupont Model simplfied and IRR you can advise companies in a first appraisal of projects (large spectrum at the beginning)..
From my point of view, the Dupont Model is the more clever synthesis and simple model to select various projects in competition in the pipeline
