Investment analysis of Splinterlands “Lands” (Calculations using my own assets) 💸

In this section, the next step is to calculate the "Daily Production" for each plot I chose, noting that I will only choose one, not both. I just want to know how profitable I can be working with one or the other. Before we begin, we need to know the production rates and the current price of resources. However, after reading this post, the prices may not be the same, so keep this in mind. If you want to do your own calculations, you should take the current prices and substitute them. With that clear, let's move on to the data we need: **Production Rates per PP per Hour:** 🌿 - Grain: 0.02 🪵 - Wood: 0.005 🪨 - Stone: 0.002 🔘 - Iron: 0.0005 --- **Resource Prices (DEC per unit):** https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cieliss/23vi1sE3CvViBKSJv51kAsUazPgUxJL9Ek4bNmmSHaoUKCQMCyYuDM454Q8efcRW9ogCU.png 🌿 - **Grain:** ~0.0080 DEC 🪵 - **Wood:** ~0.026 DEC 🪨 - **Stone:** ~0.081 DEC 🔘 - **Iron:** ~0.256 DEC With that clarified, let's move on to case or example no. 1: --- **Plot of $19 (Iron y Grain con Building in Box)** The first thing is to know the "Base Production Points" that we have thanks to our workers, and also increase it by 50% thanks to my "Epic Totem." Let's do the math: >* **PP Base = 5000 +5000 +4090.9 +3409.1 +15000 =32500 PP** >* **PP Base = 32500 PP × (1+0.50) = 48750 PP** Now that we know our total PP, we will use this amount to estimate the daily production of Iron and Grain that we need: >* **Production Iron: 48750 PP × 0.0005 Iron/PP-hora × 24 horas = 585 Iron daily** >* **Production of Grain: 48750 PP ×0.02 Grain/PP-hora ×24 horas =23400 Grain per day** Another important aspect to consider is the cost of the "Grain" consumed by workers. To calculate this, we must know that they consume 0.01 Grain per base PP-hour, so to find out how much "Grain" we need to feed them, the calculation is as follows: >* **32500 PP × 0.01Grain/PP-hora × 24 horas =7800 Grain per day** Now, the next thing I need to calculate is the net profit in DEC and estimate the approximate time it would take to recover that investment, noting that this can vary greatly depending on the values of the assets involved. With that in mind, let's move on to the calculations: --- **Daily Income:** To estimate daily income, we need to calculate the amount of resources we produce. After that, I will calculate the daily grain consumption needed by workers converted to DEC. then I will obtain what is called a "gross profit," from which I must then subtract 10% in taxes to finally obtain the "net profit." Last but not least, we need to know the return time in DEC. Knowing this, let's see how many DECs per day I can approximately make with this production: >* **Daily income: (585 Iron × 0.256 Iron DEC) + (23,400 Grain × 0.008 Grain DEC) = 149.76 + 187.2 = 336.96 DEC** >* **Daily consumption (of Grain by workers): 7800 Grain × 0.008 Grain DEC =62.4 DEC** >* **Gross profit: 336.96 DEC - 62.4 DEC = 274.56 DEC** >* **Net profit (after 10% tax): 274.56 DEC ×(1−0.10) =247.1 DEC per day** --- **Return on Investment** The only investment I have made is the $19 cost of the plot I want with the resources I want to produce, and the amount of DEC I need for each worker I have on the plot, which is about 20,000 DEC. With this information, to find out approximately how long it will take me to recoup my investment, the calculation is as follows: **Total investment = Plot cost + Staking in cards** >* **22,263.886 DEC + 20,000 DEC = 42,263.886 DEC** **Return time (days) = Total investment / Daily profit** >* **42,263.886 DEC / 247.1 DEC/day = 171 days (5.7 months)**
