Cost-Benefit Analysis of AN-Free-Explosives

By -

The purpose of a business is to create wealth. The business grows when wealth is created through the introduction of technologically superior eco-friendly new products. Some such products in the field of “Explosives for Rock Blasting” or ERB are products either devoid of ammonium nitrate or reduced ammonium nitrate. We have discussed earlier these products in the names of NoNEx, LoNEx, and TANFO.

Business finally boils down to numbers, that is, the bottom line of the balance Sheet – that is Profit after Tax or PAT.

The present per ton landed cost of Ammonium Nitrate in India is about Rs.88000 or USD 1128.

The present per ton cost of the AN-Free-Oxidizer (AFO) is Rs.40000 or USD 513.

Say your present formulation contains 55% AN.

ð  The Cost per ton on account of oxidizer = Rs, 48400 or USD 621   …(i)

Now, you introduce 10% of AN with the AN-Free-Oxidizer (AFO).

ð  Then Cost per ton on account of oxidizer is = Rs.43600 or USD 559             …(ii)

COMPARE the values in (i) and (ii), and you will see that the savings per ton of explosives are Rs. 4800 or USD 61.

SAY you manufacture 10000 tons of explosives in a year.

THEN your annual savings will be Rs. 48 million Rs. or 0.61 million USD.

Does it not sound promising and alluring for the business?

Economic Recovery post-covid19: a Layman’s Viewpoints : Dr. Manoj Kumar Patel : Economy and Economics: An economy encompasses all activity related to production, consumption, and trade of goods and services in an area. An economy applies to everyone from individuals to entities such as corporations and governments. A region's economy is connected with things like how many goods and services are produced and how much money people can spend on these things. The economy is measured by the Gross Domestic Product or GDP. When the GDP growth rate turns negative, the economy enters a recession. The most important part of the economy is consumer spending. So, as a rule of thumb, more the transactions and spending by the consumers better is the economy of that country. Thus money should be available in the hands of the consumers. The other three components are business expenditures, government spending, and net exports. Economics is a social science that deals wi

Some Thoughts on The National Teacher's Day, 5th September

Every year, India celebrates September 5, the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, as National Teachers’ Day.   According to media reports, it is believed that while Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was serving as the second President of India in 1962, his students approached him to seek permission to celebrate his birthday – September 5 – as a special day. To this, he instead made a request to observe September 5 as Teachers’ Day, to recognize the contribution of teachers to society. This is the genesis of the Teacher’s Day in India. Hindu Sanatana culture is filled with teachings that help enlighten students and teachers alike to follow paths that can help a civilized society. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A STUDENT: In Shrimad Bhagavat Gita, Shree Krishna, in one of the verses (4:33) tells Arjun that it is good to do physical acts, ritualistic ceremonies, fasts, mantra chants, holy pilgrimages, but if they are not performed with knowledge, they remain mere physical activities.

The Golden Hearts and the Rusted Gold

The Golden Hearts and the Rusted Gold Gold  is one of the least reactive elements.  Gold does not combine easily with oxygen so it remains shining. It neither does   rust  nor gets tarnished. Impurities, however, it can spoil the quality of gold. Humans are just like pure gold. We all have born with a pure heart. But as we grow chronologically, layers of impurities get settled over our pure hearts, and gradually these get spoiled. We do not take diligent care, the way we take care of our jewelry, to keep our hearts shining. We ignore the layers of dirt over it. A stage comes when the pure heart does not become visible and it is the dirt only that reflects from our personality. How can dirt reflect rays of shines? We should take care of our Golden Heart so that the Heart remains resplendent.
