Great, but that's only a part of operational costs. A craftsman's revenue may exceed the electricity bill for the power drill, doesn't mean the business is sustainable.
Day 2 the craftsman has not made up for the investment/loss of their equipment. Not a useful example.
Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say.
