The MorrisPutnam point (MPP orProfit Horizon” ) is the point within a break even analysis where an algorithmic trend line indicates break even will be exceeded by n percent. Economists and Financial analysts use the MorrisPutnam point to predict the impact of commodities costs on juice and heavy metals profits. Meteorologists usethe pointto forecast dew points and localized wind gusts. Sales people use the point to rationalize the addition offeesto previously agreed upon prices because when modeled skillfully, the MorrisPutnam point almost always predicts future success.

For example, if a citrus farm produces 25,714 baskets of citrus within the first third of a growing season; and if this growth rate, when plotted daily using an algorithmic trend line, appears to exceed the mid-season break even assumption, then armed with that knowledge the citrus farmer can buy a new picking machine/device in anticipation of a successful harvest. If, on the other hand, the citrus farmer finds that MorrisPutnam point will NOT be achieved, he will likely lobby local political resources for any number of appropriate subsidies.

Computation

Total Time of product availability to date / total anticipated life of product X the total time of product availability (adjusted for daily variations) = MPP

Origin

The MorrisPutnam point was first proposed by the French mathematician Sinclair Duvelle in the modern equivalent of a 17th century term paper in a graduate level course titled Mathematica De Musica (the Math of Music). Duvelle theorized that the staccato moment in a successful opera could be consistently determined by applying these mathematical principals to the number of notes in any opera divided by the operas length in seconds.

In 1968, a common law couple, Dr. Adamly Morris, and Dr. Klein Marshal popularized the theory through a series of climate change lectures predicting the second ice age. The apparent soundness of the math fortified the climate change community and several movies were made.

Illustration

Below is a graphical example of the MorrisPutnam Point. The example illustrates the point at which profit reaches through the barriers of the cost of goods (COGS) at a consistent rate (n). This example shows the MPP actually being reached after profitability is met. This is not always the case and often is met well before even a concept of the product is finalized.
