The maps above show one way to monitor the carbon âmetabolismâ of Earthâs vegetation. They show net primary productivity, which is how much carbon dioxide vegetation takes in during photosynthesis minus how much carbon dioxide the plants release during respiration (metabolizing sugars and starches for energy).
The net multiplier measures the revenue required for each dollar of direct labor spent on projects. A net multiplier of 3.00 means the firm needs $3.00 of net revenue for each $1.00 of direct labor spent on project to cover project labor, overhead and profit. The target net multiplier is determined by the profit plan for the coming year. The âeffective net multiplierâ is the actual net multiplier achieved.
