Comparing airfare costs
Comparing airfares means balancing the ticket price against how long the trip takes, how many layovers it has, what the baggage policy is and how much CO2 it puts out. On the same route, direct flights usually run 30-50% more than itineraries with a connection. For international tickets, the sweet spot to book is 30-60 days out, stretching to 90-120 in high season. Meta-search engines like Skyscanner, Google Flights and Kayak let you sweep flexible dates quickly. A long international leg emits 80-150 kg-CO2 per passenger each hour in the air, somewhere between 5 and 10 times the per-km footprint of a coach bus. A quick example: an R$ 1,200 ticket with an R$ 200 checked bag adds up to an effective fare of R$ 1,400.
Applications
Planning a holiday trip, putting a direct route up against one with a connection, working out whether to cash in miles (Smiles, Latam Pass, TudoAzul) or just pay, picking between economy and premium economy, or sizing up whether a low-cost carrier still makes sense once you add the paid extras.
FAQ
Is paying for a direct flight worth it? On anything under 6 hours, the connection rarely earns its keep. Go long-haul, though, and a 2-3 hour layover can shave off enough to pay for a couple of extra days where you are headed.
How do miles compare to cash? Take the cash price, divide it by the miles the ticket asks for, and you have the value per mile. In Brazilian programmes, anything above R$ 0.035 (3.5 cents) usually counts as a good redemption.
Does the price always include baggage? Not always. Low-cost and economy basic fares bill checked bags on the side, so tack the baggage fee on before you compare the totals.

Residual Income
Computes a company's residual income: net income minus a charge for the use of equity capital, equal to the capital times the required cost of capital. The idea is that accounting profit doesn't tell the whole story — value is only created when earnings exceed what shareholders could earn elsewhere at the same risk. A positive residual income signals a return above the cost of capital. Enter the net income, the equity capital and the cost of equity.

Fuel Consumption per Hectare
Calculate the fuel consumption per hectare of a mechanized operation, consumption = hourly consumption ÷ field capacity, dividing the tractor's hourly consumption (L/h) by the effective field capacity (ha/h). The result, in liters per hectare, is the practical indicator to budget the fuel cost of a farming operation and compare the energy efficiency of machines and settings. Heavy operations (subsoiling) consume far more L/ha than light ones (spraying). Combined with the diesel price and the total area, it gives the season's fuel cost. Enter the hourly consumption and the field capacity.
