Return to investors

Predicting returns to investors

When considering the potential profit for an investment of $3M USD, it is essential to take into account the profitability of the business, growth plans, and risk factors. Below is a simulation to demonstrate the expected profit for the quantum cryptography device manufacturing and sales business. The calculations use a positive valuation scenario.

Assumptions:

  • Initial Investment: $3M USD

  • Device Selling Price: $20 USD

  • Manufacturing Cost: 10% of the selling price ($2 USD)

  • First-Year Sales Volume: 600,000 units

  • Annual Sales Volume from the Second Year Onwards: 1,200,000 units

  • Subscription Fee: $3 USD per month

  • Subscription Registration Rate: 50%

  • Churn Rate: 10% per month

  • Operating Costs: ¥35M per month

  • Sales Costs: 30% of subscription sales revenue

  • CAGR: Approximately 30%

  • Discount Rate: 10%

  • Perpetual Growth Rate: 2%

These are the conditions under which the simulation is conducted.

5-year ROI and dividend rate simulation

To calculate the 5-year ROI and annual dividend rate for a $3M investment, we follow these steps:

  1. Calculation of 5-Year ROI (Return on Investment):

    ROI = (Profit from Investment - Investment Amount) / Investment Amount × 100%

    5-Year Total Present Value of FCF: $51,063,318 Investment Amount: $3,000,000

    ROI = ($51,063,318 - $3,000,000) / $3,000,000 × 100% = 1602.11%

  2. Calculation of Annual Dividend Rate Considering Investment Share:

    First, calculate the proportion of the investment in the total enterprise value (investment share).

    Enterprise Value = 5-Year Total Present Value of FCF = $51,063,318 Investment Share = $3,000,000 / $51,063,318 = 5.87%

    Next, calculate the dividends based on the investment share for each year's FCF and take the average.

    Year 1: $5,559,516 × 5.87% = $326,344 Year 2: $6,937,503 × 5.87% = $407,231 Year 3: $9,997,573 × 5.87% = $586,857 Year 4: $12,775,180 × 5.87% = $749,903 Year 5: $15,793,546 × 5.87% = $927,091

    Average Annual Dividend over 5 Years = ($326,344 + $407,231 + $586,857 + $749,903 + $927,091) / 5 = $599,485

    Annual Dividend Rate = $599,485 / $3,000,000 × 100% = 19.98%

Conclusion:

  • 5-Year ROI: 1602.11%

  • Average Annual Dividend Rate: 19.98%

These results suggest that the quantum cryptography device manufacturing and sales business could potentially be highly profitable. An investment could yield over 16 times the initial amount in 5 years, with an average annual dividend rate of about 20%.

However, these figures are based on optimistic growth projections, and actual results may vary significantly due to factors such as market conditions, competition, technological advancements, and regulatory environment. It's also important to consider that high returns often come with high risks.
