22. Revenue
The production is based on money and profit.
So for calculating the profit, one has to follow
following steps:
COST PER MINUTE
The cost per minute is relatively easy to determine; you
simply divide the final production cost by the duration
of the finished product. For example, if a 30-minute
production costs 120,000, the cost per minute would
be 4,000.
23. COST PER VIEWER
Cost per viewer is also relatively simple to figure out;
you simply divide the total production costs by the
actual or anticipated audience.
24. Cost Per Measured Results
The last category, cost per measured results, is the
most difficult to determine.
For this we must measure production costs against
intended results. In commercial television we might
sell 300,000 packages of razor blades after airing one
60-second commercial. If our profit on 300,000
packages was 3 lakhs and we spent 2lakhs producing
and airing the commercial, we might question whether
it was a good investment.
