Reshoring & Tariff Strategy worked example

Reshoring Capex Requirement with reshoring capex requirement investment of 62,500 $: a worked example

Push reshoring capex requirement investment up to 62,500 $ and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when reshoring capex requirement in reshoring and tariff strategy is being put in front of a capital committee and the savings story needs to hold up.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Reshoring capex requirement investment: 62,500 $ (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 25,000)
  • Annual reshoring capex requirement savings: 18,000 $ / yr (unchanged)
  • Annual reshoring capex requirement support cost: 2,500 $ / yr (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Net annual reshoring capex requirement savings = annual reshoring capex requirement savings - annual reshoring capex requirement support cost) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4.03 yr for reshoring capex requirement payback period, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15,500 $ / yr for net annual reshoring capex requirement savings.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 62,500 $ for reshoring capex requirement investment.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15,000 $ for five-year net reshoring capex requirement value.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where reshoring capex requirement investment sits at 25,000 $ and the headline result is 1.61 yr, this scenario comes in 150% above the baseline at 4.03 yr.
  • It computes net annual savings (gross reshoring savings minus annual support cost) and divides the upfront investment by that net to give a simple payback period in years, plus a five-year net value. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
