Building and upgrade ROI
Is this build or upgrade worth the money?
The investment
The additional profit per hour, not the total. Subtract what this capital already earns elsewhere so you are comparing the true improvement.
Counted against the return: capital spent is earning nothing while construction runs.
The period the return is measured over.
