- 2- A rough rule of thumb for the chemical industry is that OMR 1 of annual sales required OMR 2 of fixed capital investment. In a chemical processing plant where this rule applies, the total capital investment is OMR 3200000 and the working capital is 18% of the total capital investment. The annual net total product cost amounts to 1500000 OMR.
