WHAT HAPPENS TO
ALL THAT PROFff? ,
When fhe city couhtilmen tell a
telephone company that it can earn at
a certain percentage on its investment,
are they giving a blank check to the
fat cat phone company?
Let's check out an example to see what
happens to all that "profit." In this
hypothetical example, small numbers
have “been used to permit easier
calculation. But the percentages used
are typical of conventionally financed
telephone companies.
$1,000.00 Net Plant Investment
8% Allowable Rate of Return )
80.00 Net Operating Income
35.00 7% Interest on $500 of Debt
45.00 Net Income
30.00 6% Dividend on $500 of
Equity
$ 15.00 Available for Reinvestment
In the example, the company has a net
plant investment of $1,000, made up of
$500 in long-term debt and $500 in
stockholder equity. If the allowable
rate of return is 8% and IF the company
is able to earn that much, a net
operating income of $80 is created.
Tnat is not profit, however.
From that amount, the company must
pay interest on its debt (7% of $500),
leaving a net income of $45. If the (
company pays a 6% dividend (6% of
$500), that leaves a year-end surplus
of $15 which can be reinvested in the
company. .
In other words, the actual profit retained
by the company after paying its creditors
and investors amounted to only 1.5 />
of its investment.
That hardly qualifies as a "fat cat share.

FUEL COSTS MORE
To produce electric power. TP*L generating plants must use
fuel-and fuel costs more today than ever before. Since 1952,
the price of natural gas, the principal fuel used by TPSL, leas
risen more than 500%. The Company’s 1972 fuel bill was more
than $40 million, 30% higher than in 1971. These trends have
continued during 1973.
